What is the starboard chainplate bolted to if the bulkhead is now gone?
The port bulkhead is fairly small, and I suppose the starboard one would
be OK if it were the same size. I don't think it's OK if it's totally
gone though.

The previous owner of the my c27 reduced the bulkheads to open up the
cabin. The walls that enclose the head are no longer there. The
interior is really nice, but I'm concerned about the structural
integrity without the walls extending all the way to the center post.
Is this going to reduce the ability to bear loads on the deck above,
or should the center post and fiberglass be sufficient? What about
when sailing and heeling over... will the lack of the bulkhead walls
that enclose the head give me any problems there? Are there any
proposed solutions to this?
Thanks!
