[Public-List] Bulkhead tabbing on early boats

Hi everyone,


On #116, the tabbing is exposed on the interior bulkheads.  When I got
the boat, some of the tabbing had cracked a little here and there so
when I repainted, I cut off the sections of separated tabbing and
added new.  The tabbing seems to be able to survive road transport,
the summer in the water and the road transport back (100 miles). Now
for the second winter, I'm getting some failures in the tabbing. Not
major failures, just cosmetic at this point with the current extent of
delaminated fiberglass.

My guess is that the hull, deck and bulkheads are expanding &
contracting over the winter at different rates causing the failures.

I'm curious if other A30 owners see similar issues.
