Oooh I do like that. The pvc plugs we have are hard to get out once they’re screwed in too tight, and it’s almost impossible not to screw them in too tight.
I don’t think I was explaining myself very well re bulkhead. I meant a 1x2 (but actually thinking 2x2 would be better) something* cut to...
Pics, as promised. On the boat with the yellow hull, should I be worried about those cracks either side of the daggerboard? On the white boat they just look like gelcoat cracks.

I don't have any pics to post at the moment, but I will take some on Saturday. Here is the sailing club. Some people (including us until we were shown better) launch their boats from the dock there in front. OK for an Opti, no bueno for sunfish. Not surprising some of the bailers got taken out...
