Subject: Bulkhead cracks?
Info: (20036 views) Posted: Friday 11-3-06 11:48:12 AM

My deck supports on #107 are 2x2 ash pieces in front of the bulkhead. They extend through the aft end of the V-berth to the hull to which they are securely tabbed. I've seen no signs of deck compression under the mast.

::
:: ::
::
:: Hi: Dave:
::
:: The rig of you boat is compressing through the deck and
:: warping the upper horizontal bridge of support.
::
:: The legs which hold up the horizontal support on the
:: front side of the bulkhead may also be warping . . .and
:: the bulkhead in plane can itself warp and buckle.
::
:: The first 30 boats all suffered this compression issue .
:: . . where the legs of the support do not tranverse the
:: flat plane of the V-berth all the way down to within an
:: inch of the hull. Your's may or may not. Mine do now.
::
:: I had the horizontal wood pieces fore and aft removed,
:: the vertical legs removed, new full length legs forward,
:: partial legs aft.
::
:: Beefy'er timber was used on the Deperado's upgrade. Some
:: people simply sandwiched the bulkhead with two pieces of
:: marine plywood.
::
:: A jack is sometimes used to push the bulk head
:: upstraight again prior to regluing the new beefy'er
:: supports.
::
:: Mike
::
::
:: ::
:: :: I've got a small crack in my bulkhead. Anyone else seen
:: :: similar problems? I've got some ideas of how to fix it,
:: :: but want to see if anyone else has some prior experience
:: :: with this repair on these boats.
