I have had to remove the Port main bulkhead on my H37c as dry rot had completely destroyed the plywood through to and including the chainplates. Question.!!! Does anyone know if it would be structurally sound to only replace the area that I have outlined in red in the accompanying photo.????? I like the idea of having more visual space by only replacing half the bulkhead. Bear in mind that the forward bulkhead is only 30" away.

Doubt it is load bearing?

This looks very much the same as the H34 bulkhead layout. If so, I would say this is not a load bearing bulkhead and you can proceed with your "open concept" plan. On my H34 this bulhead is cosmetic only. Check with Hunter.
