Richard, If you think the boat is moving near/at a tie-down, it wouldn't be too hard to add an additional one or two . .
There is a funny story about George Cuthbertson . . . He was sailing on Redhead ( C&C 35 Hull No. 1 ) in the Southern Circuit (Bruce Kirby Skipper) and was lying in his bunk and he saw the bulkhead moving slightly where it intersected the deck . . . . He was horrified (scared actually) but the boat survived the race. When he got home he explained to George Hinterhoeller (the builder) that the deck connection had failed. George told George that there was NO deck connection. The deck just floats. Cuthbertson relaxed, and C&C boats were built that way for years. When the boat is/was built the deck is upside down in the mold. Then the wiring, etc, and then the headliner is dropped onto the deck (while it's still in the mold). Then flip it over and drop it on the hull. You can appreciate to then go inside the boat and tab the bulkheads to the deck needs access. So to do so the headliner has to leave spaces all around the deck connection points in order to accomplish this. That done there are now a number of openings in the headliner that have to be closed up and look attractive - a big change in the process.
