[Alberg30] Wood sotve.

[Mike Lehman]

Maggie & Ian Ross asks:

Would you consider creating mesh covered openings in the bulkheads to allow 
the warmth to flow into the companionway and through the locker?

If this would mean cutting a hole in thebulkhead, I am not in favor of the 
idea. I don't even like drilling holes in the bulkhead. Boats with liners 
(after #400) had a lot of pop rivets as fasteners holding the secondary 
structural parts together (such as the shelves in the forward and main 
cabins). Bulkheads are primary stuctural components and shouldn't be 
compromised.

Hi there -

My "plan" is to count on the bulkhead warming up to provide drying
encouragement for the hanging locker.  There is nothing wrong with better
ventilation but I think that even with heat shields the bulkhead will get
warm.
