Adam:
I re-did the ceiling panels on my 34, which I suspect were very similar to
your 36. I used the old panels, which were thin ply covered with a headliner
material. I removed the old headliner material (it was stapled on as I
recall)), cleaned up the panels, applied West System to the interior side of
the panel, recovered them with new headliner, and put them back in place. At
first I used “regular” velcro (the fuzzy stuff), but the adhesive was not up to
the task. I then used the thicker 3M “velcro” (or whatever it’s called) that
is clear plastic with large interlocking pieces. It’s the same stuff that’s
provided to mount an EZ Pass transducer to a car windshield. It not only held
the panels, but I did not need to apply it all around the panel edge. I found
I could use smaller pieces more sparingly.
I keep a roll of that 3M stuff on my boat. It comes in handy for all sorts
of things.

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. The water is gathering on the edge of the
fibreglass headliner and running into the storage cupboards. I have rebedded
the chain plates and handrails. The stanchions are too far outboard. Any
suggestions?
Also this has been discussed before. Has anyone replaced ceiling panels and
used velcro to hold them in? What was the best material? I have thought of
those fibreglass panels found at home depot but seems pretty messy to cut.
