I have a 1976 Catalina 27 in poor shape. It has had all of the interior pulled out of it by the PO. I have most of the parts for it, but I did not receive any of the bulkheads with the boat. Do any of you have patterns for these or know where I can get some? Catalina has been no help. Not even a price from them.

You will probably have to fabricate them from scratch. There is another thread around here were someone made templates for new bulkheads out of styrofoam and used them to cut some new marine ply to fit.

Ouch. that bites.... It will not be the best idea to try to make patterns from the boat as it sits, as the interior will have no doubt moved around. You will want to get patterns off of a known good boat of similar or preferably same year. You might try the National C27 owners group here: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/IC27A/info

Thety have a Yahoo forum where you might find someone who could help. I do know of a C27 that partially burned recently in Missouri. I bought some parts off the guy. If he still had the bulkeheads from his boat, I bet you coud buy them. PM me and I will get his address to you.

Thanks for your help!

I've got two lines on templates now. I'll see how it goes.

Any thoughts on using G10 instead of plywood for the bulkheads?
