I am looking for information on removal of the forepeak bulkhead. I am 6'3" which makes the V berth unusable for sleeping. When I remove the bulkhead I can stretch out with plenty of room to spare, thus, I would like to leave this out. Does anyone know if this is structural at all? It has only 2 wood screws holding it on with an L bracket at the top with 2 tiny screws attaching that to the boat. Could be that it provides some structural benefit in compression, but, seems like that is a stretch. I would like to remove it permanently and add an access cover to hide the anchor locker drain line. I would also like to remove the fabric covering and replace with wooden slats while I'm at it. Any information on permanent removal of the forepeak bulkhead would be greatly appreciated.
