What is meant by "panel support" [bulkheads ?] ?
==========================================

Anything to provide additional hull stiffness and support; could be a
long shelf, additional framing under the V bearths, etc.

I once stiffened a flexible hull area by laminating vertical strips of
structural foam to the inside with epoxy and glass cloth. The whole
thing got covered by thin horizontal wood strips and looked quite
respectable.
