: They are more flexible than plywood or cedarstrip bulkheads and to me that's
: a good thing. There is less of a chance of producing a stress riser in the
: hull that could lead to serious damage to the hull in the event of a hard
: hit. I plan on using this boat mainly for my significant other's rolling,
: but also, I imagine it'll be used in rock gardens and surf, so a big hit
: is definately a possibility.

I'm planning on using some technical plywood (aircraft grade- it's scrap) without glass for bulkheads. It's probably not 4 oz (I'll weigh them), but it will definitely be stiffer. Aft will have a hatch like BBKs, so it will be perpendicular to the WL, but would it be worth the trouble to angle the forward bulkhead like the Valley boats?
