In Response To: Re: Material: Light weight layup (Don Lucas)
While bulkheads would help provide stiffness and shape integrity around the cockpit, I think that rigid bulkheads are a stress riser for the boat overall. In a very lightweight boat the concentration of stress at a rigid form may be great enough to be a real problem. My inclination would be to eschew bulkheads and make up lightweight purpose-built float bags from heat sealable fabric. (This is the approach I'm taking with my almost finished Coho, although I don't have major concerns about bulkhead stress on this one.)
