This bulkhead connects the starboard stringer to the hull. It looks like the wood is not in contact with the hull on the left (looking aft) and just has glass bridging the gap.

Bad repair job or bad original construction?

Does this need to be repaired asap or not that big of a deal?

1977 Skipjack.

Most likely original.

Looks good for a 40 year old stringer and bulkhead

When done correctly the wood isn't supposed to come in contact with the hull, so it looks much better than most.
