Recovering a Sunken Boat

[Seamon]

Good advice thx!
But my repair will be different from yours because my actual bulkheads are completely rotten... So I will have to remove them then install my longer bulkheads, (they are longer to remove the "kink" on the sides of the hull, it will spread the traction force on a bigger surface) ...anyways i'll take some pictures. Next friday it's the big day! The temperature is getting hotter here in Montréal!!!:dance:

I did both at the same time. using my halyards attatched to my toerail to support the upper mast. then i disconnected the stays. i epoxied new plywood to the original bulkheads to a thickness of 1 1/2" . then glass tabbed the whole thing to the hull. my chainplates were fine but the undersized wedge bulkheads and the thin hull create quite a dimple. i got many a comment as i sailed by others. ...but its solved now
