Bulkheads




Bulkhead were put in both port & starboard to stiffen the boat. They were scribed from patterns and individually fitted in two sections. The sections were wedged in place and then glued and screwed together using butt plates on both sides. This was a tough job because of the awkward limited space between frames, cabinsides and deckbeams. Any small thing you drop here rolls down irretrievably to the bilges under the floor boards (not glued down yet.)
