J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Cockpit Bulkhead Upgrade

Here are the new covers for the front of the cockpit. This is bubinga and is 1/2 thick. I have covered both sides with 4 oz. glass using epoxy resin and have multiple coats now of spar varnish on them. The reason I glassed them was to give them a fighting chance in the weather, so they are sealed and hopefully the glass will help control thermal expansion, we will see. They are ready for installation as soon as it dries out here, probably about the 4th of July.
