Aft Airtank repair

[Guest John Barnard]

Portions of the plywood that forms the walls of the aft airtank on my boat have finally rotted to the point where they need to be replaced. I probably know the answer to this question, but I'm going to ask anyway. Is it legal to replace the rotted sections with 1/4" starboard or similar material or does it have to remain plywood?  Any info would help.

 

Thanks

John

  That similar question came up in Fleet 6, concerning the interior bulkheads the chain plates are attached to. The local measurer said it was OK, as long as after the repairs were complete, the boat was was re-measuered and certified.
