I replaced my starboard bulkhead with 3/4 inch white starboard, somehwat pricey, but really easy to cut, durable, and can take a load. Pam

If you have ANY rot in the bulkheads, replace them with good marine grade ply and finish as you see necessary. If you don't like the look of the marine grade ply, cover with good wood, but only after sealing the ply with epoxy (do it while out of the boat and seal all the holes with 4200/5200/sekaflex. Remember the bulkheads hold up the mast on the C27 and they need to be reinforced. Take them out (with the mast either out or held up by substantial reinforcements), trace them and recreate them. Check the Mainsheet history for John Potvin's upgrades to find a huge amount of information about upgrading a C27. If you can't find it, email me and I will either dig through my hard drive or get John to forward it AGAIN to the list. Chris Dtoy box eastport, md Start the year off right.
