Bulkhead

After dialysis today, I climbed into the sailboat to look at the bulkheads.  the past owner had pretty well gutted the inside with the intent of just leaving her pretty open, not replacing the galley, etc.  He mentioned something about the mast post, but I can't remember exactly what it was.  But by all appearance, the bulkheads have to be replaced.  Where the chainstays bolt into the bulkhead on both sides, there is considerable decay.  Tonight I wanted to see how hard it was going to be to tear out the bulkheads as I didn't know how well they would be attached to the hull.  They should be tabbed into the hull and deck about 3 inches with fiberglass tabbing and epoxy.   To my amazement, only two screws held the starboard bulkhead into the liner at the top, and the bulkhead was flimsly stapeled into a cleat at the bottom.  Where the bulkhead did not follow the hull exactly, the space was filled up with resin but was not attached to the wood.   The bulkhead also appeared not have the endgrain sealed with a coat of epoxy like it should have.  Not doing this preventatively, only allowed moisture to soak into the endgrain, ruining the wood.  This was very shoddy manufacturing that looked in all appearence that they had built the boat with the intent to cut as many corners as possible.  So I am ever thankful I am going to be able to rebuild this boat from the ground up!  Tomorrow I will see about the port side. 
On days of dialysis, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am just not very productive at all...  I just finished my first week of #16 needles and next week I should get scheduled to get the cathetor removed from my neck.  I can't resist saying how much of a "pain-in-the-neck" it is...
