Bristol 24 Bulkhead replacement (me again)

[SV Gutsy Lady]

I am replacing both of the bulkheads on my B24. Has anyone done that? Any recommendations? Marine plywood or some other material?

Thanks,

Pete

Bulkheads are usually structural in nature and support the cabin top. I would suggest removing only one at a time and dissuading your friends from dancing on the cabin roof while the bulkhead is removed.

Marine ply of similar thickness should be OK. If you are replacing because of rot, you might want to seal the plywood with epoxy so you have to do it again in another 30 years!
