Following my earlier post, I contacted John Brooks, Somes Sound 12.5 designer, who quickly reassured me that the bulkhead would be fine without having to make a new web frame also. Fitting the bulkhead was quite slow, because I fitted the bulkhead in one piece rather than in two halves: the narrowing of the planks as you move forward creates a challenge since you have to insert the bulkhead aft of its final position where the jogs do not line up....
Play came to a stop early today while cutting the cleats to support the bulkhead, my nice shiny Japanese pull saw ripped through my thumb...ouch!!
A salutary reminder to stay awake and keep flesh and tools apart......
