Dennis,
You have me interested, as I don't think my 35-1 has any type of
brackets, and the bulkhead does squeak in any significant seaway. I'd be
quite interested in pictures. (I was told by a former 35-1 owner the
solution was beeswax on the bulkhead.)

OK, I'm taking a flyer here because I'm not familiar with the 33-2.
Does it have an "oopstang"? That's the name a long missing lister
(Wally) gave to a bracket assembly which holds the bulkhead to the
deck. Look for a beveled metal piece on the deck which measures about
1" x 2" with a slotted flat head fastener. The fastener holds an
L-shaped bracket which resembles a chain plate which is attached to
the bulkhead.
If your boat has one, try tightening the fasteners for this assembly.
On my 35-1, the top of the bulkhead is held by this assembly. To the
best of my knowledge, the top of the bulkhead floats except for this
bracket. So it may be creaking just with a small movement.
Advise us what you find. I plan to be on Touche' later this week,
I'll look more closely at it and try to grab some pictures.

Hi there,
Does anybody have any suggestions / comments on a rather
significant creaking near starboard bulkhead on C&C33 Mark II?
The boat is overall in very good shape but I did notice creaking
when walking on the deck slightly forward of the bulkhead whilst
at dock. We were out in heavy seas (25 knots) on our last trip
reaching through waves and the creaking was quite noticeable down
below. There are no soft spots and from visual and audible
inspections I don’t see any signs of delamination. Also no signs
of water ingress.
I’m thinking that the joint between the bulkhead and deck may have
come loose and was wondering if anybody has experienced the same,
and would be curious to hear any suggestions on how to remedy the
issue.
Thanks!
Andy
