One of my winter projects is to dress up area around the small windows down below using some wood planking (or batten strips, or whatever you call it). The cabin deck is cored, so the ceiling in the middle of the cabin can be screwed into. There is no coring around the windows, however; just fiberglass (about ¼” thick). Any thoughts on how best to attach the planking to the inside fiberglass? I suppose I could epoxy the planking in place, but this seems like overkill and a lot of work. Tape around the trim pieces and glue the wood with a small bead of 3M 5200. 2. A second winter project is to reduce the number of winches on the deck around the mast. I believe the easiest way to accomplish this, without going crazy and rearranging everything, is to use two strategically placed rope clutches. To mount each rope clutch on the deck at the correct height, I will need to make a pad or something (like a winch pad, but for a rope clutch). I could use teak, which requires maintenance; starboard, which does not; or something else that does not require maintenance. Any suggestions? StarBoard. Note the small Powercleat between the triple rope clutch and the companionway. It's raised on a small StarBoard pad. I used a 1/4 inch roundover router bit.
