Thanks Rod--you obviously know your nautical terms, as do some others on this
list. Now a few more listers, including myself, know what to call this
'planking'.
With that out of the way, back to draining the swamp! To wit: some of this
'ceiling' in my V berth on my 1995 C&C 36 XL/kcb has been destroyed by a water
leak at my forward port hull deck joint leak--since repaired.
What I am trying to find is a source of the ceiling to match my original, which
looks to be either ~1/4" teak or plywood with V-grooves routed in on a 1 7/8"
centers. The grooves run longitudinally and I need a piece about 12 inches high
and 24 inches long with the grooves running along the 24" direction. As far as
I can tell without cutting out a piece, this ceiling is screwed into stringers
(behind the 'ceiling') that appear to run longitudinally at the top and bottom
of the ceiling, which on my boat runs under the V-berth cubby storage cabinets
down to the fiberglass beneath the V-berth cushion. The screws are covered by
bungs. I don't know if C&C manufactured this ceiling material in house or had a
source for it. I do think a lot of their boats had this 'ceiling' on the inside
of their hulls.
I would appreciate any leads on where I might find some of this 'ceiling' with
the grooves already cut.
Alternatively, I may have to take a replacement piece of wood to a local
woodshed and have grooves routed in it or buy a router and some appropriate
wood and have at it myself.
Thanks in advance for any further help--as well as your terminology lesson!

{}-->Hi fellow C&C 99 owners,On the inside of the hull the covering applied is
properly called a ceiling. I am from a family of wooden boatbuilders and we
don’t like to use terminology associated with houses on boats but ceiling is
defined below from the Glossary of Nautical terms.ceilingPlanking attached to
the inside of the frames or floors of a wooden hull, usually to separate the
cargo from the hull planking itself. The ceiling has different names in
different places: limber boards, spirketting, quickwork. The lower part of the
ceiling is, confusingly to a landsman, what you are standing on at the bottom
of the hold of a wooden shipOn pleasure boats example Image
