Rotten bulkhead.

I found rot in my port bulkhead on my Cal 227 this evening. Unfortunately I found it when the chainplate pulled out Fortunately due to dumb luck and quick crew work there was no other damage. The problem now is finding the teak plywood that I need to replace the bulkhead. Does anyone have a source on the East coast (I am in Buffalo NY)? I really want to get back sailing this season.

Check out Boulter Plywood. Great company to do business with. Extremely good shipping costs. I purchased all the materials from them for my latest dinghy project. http://www.boulterplywood.com Leslie On Wednesday, August 1, 2018, John b je… [at] gmail.com [Cal_Boats] < Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > I found rot in my port bulkhead on my Cal 227 this evening.

Many years ago I bought some teak and holly plywood from Public Lumber. It was delivered to my driveway and shipping was reasonable. They have marine grade teak plywood. http://publiclumber.com/store/pc/Teak--c40.htm Allen On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 7:27 PM, John b je… [at] gmail.com [Cal_Boats] < Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > I found rot in my port bulkhead on my Cal 227 this evening.

John, have you tacked down the source of what must be a long term leak? The chain plate hole is a likely spot, but water does not always enter where it comes out.

I used Homestead for the cabin sole Teak and Holly plywood for my Cal 33-2. Very nice people to deal with. But Boulter Plywood also has excellent material and their shipping prices are much, much better. If I had known about Boulter when I did the cabin sole I would have definitely used them.
