[Public-list] Starboard bulkhead replacement

[Philip Bartlett]

Patty,
I have just discovered some rot in the port side bulkhead while doing some 
wiring. It is below the chainplate attachment which hasn't pulled out yet 
but it needs to be repaired. When you replaced the starboard side bulkhead 
on Timbuktu  how was it done? Was it replaced from the center line out to 
the hull or was a smaller piece scarfed in? Was the new bulkhead material 
glassed in or bolted to the original tabbing?

Has anyone else had to deal with this and how were the repairs made?

Philip Bartlett,
