Replacing our ROTTEN Bulkhead
In last week's post we showed how we made carbon fibre chainplates for Paikea. The chainplate arrangement was originally a stainless steel strap with a backing plate bolted through the bulkhead. The bulkhead was a eglass/plywood construction that had lasted more than 30 years but now the plywood core had rotted away and only the glass was left to hold the chainplates in place. As a result, the bolts were slowly moving upwards towards the deck and allowing the chainplate move upwards also.
