What is the mast support in the main bulkhead made out of? I want to install a few coat hooks on it and was wondering if it's solid enough to hold with simple wood screws, or is it just a veneer?

It will definitely hold your screws for coat hooks. It is veneer covered plywood or just teak plywood. Otherwise it wouldn't hold up the mast right?

Well yes, of course. But I was more concerned with the wood holding the weight of whatever may be placed on those hooks, most likely being wet foulies.

Be sure to use adequate length and diameter screws...
