Hi Adam, I replaced my ceiling panels with 3/16 starboard. Tho fiberglass wall panels from Home Depot are very flimsy so I was concerned they would rattle or sag over time if I didn’t laminate them to something else. Starboard was easy to cut on my table saw and round the corners with a router or hand plane. I used the old panels as a template. Starboard is a bit heavier than the original plywood but it isn’t that big a difference. I Screwed them back in with flat head sheet metal screws and stainless steel decorative washers. Reasonably happy with the result and should be maintenance free. Get the starboard from McMastercarr they have the 3/16 and it is - lot cheaper than the boat places generally. Since shipping was a lot for a big sheet I did the larger panels in two pieces out of 2x4 foot stock if I remember correctly. The white panels help to brighten the interior a lot.
Not sure what to tell you on the leaks - I am having similar problems with water getting in above the port bulkhead (and elsewhere) and haven’t solved it yet either. Wondering if it might be coming in around the mast collar plate. Need to investigate further at some point. - - Nathan Post S/V Wisper C&C34 Lynn MA, USA > On Apr 20, 2019, at 6:26 AM, Adam Hayden via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > Hello Listers > > We have pretty major water intrusion coming in on the port side by the > bulkhead in the salon of our C&C 36.
