Snow Gum’s watertight bulkheads - Garcia Exploration 45

A feature of the Garcia Exploration 45 design that got a big tick from us during our evaluation is the pair of full-height water-tight bulkheads. One is in the bow, between the large sail locker and the forward cabin. The other is at the stern and separates the two aft compartments from the steering gear compartment. Access to the steering gear is available on both sides of this aft bulkhead through waterproof hatches.
