Listers:
I have two unrelated questions:
1. 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.
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?
Thanks in advance.
Matt
