Think of a monocoque bulkhead that can absorb tension or compression forces from the hull. Ours is bolted in with a handful of screws timidly in fiberglass providing little structural support to the hull. I took my "bulkhead" out last year when I changed out the steering system and wanted to inspect it while sailing or be able to make adjustments on the fly. Taking it out had no impact for me. But to Zeil's comment, any structure tied to the hull certainly helps to stiffen it. Look forward to seeing your modifications. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
