Hans, welcome and happy to have you aboard...! I have a feeling that you will
fit right in with this crowd...a mix of land and sea based nonconformists who
love their boats..; or something like that;
Does your 37 have the shelving in the V berth? and are the ceilings/battens
attached to the shelving?
Thanks;
PS: great to have another 37 on the list here as well!

Hi All,First post here so I imagine I will have fouled up somehow ...
ð±Hopefully I will continue to âcontributeâ, more meaningfully as time goes on.Â
The ceilings on my 1982 37 are teak battens (~ 1/4â x 2â + -ish) with beveled
edges laminated to ~3/8â plywood. Actual dimensions are fuzzy - the memory of
.... ð Itâs been awhile. Screwed and plugged. I canât remember if there was
some sort of hull spacer/vertical ribband. Newer boats ...?
As a retired landlubber construction professional I strongly urge people to
explore existing structure thoroughly. Before somehow committing to plans and
timetables based on hopeful thinking. As construction methods change and
as-builts differ always see whatcha already got ... so just rip into it! ð³
Note on terminology: One of my brothers was a shipwright and foreman in the
wooden boat mafia so I differentiated myself by refusing to learn all the
arcane stuff. Iâm a better sailor than he is ... butwhat that says about my
skills is debatable. ð

You might be correct--but I will know soon when I hopefully remove the bungs
and get a closer look at this 'ceiling'.
Until then, my guess is that they are not separate battens but a sheet of
teak/something with grooves routed in it to make it look like they are separate
pieces.Â
The routed 'grooves' might also allow the single board (if it is indeed a
single board!) to bend enough to fit the curves of the forward hull, both
vertically and fore and aft.Â
They might be separate boards but I only see bungs at the top and bottom of
their vertical 'run'.

It seems to me that the teak battens were initially glued to a fabric backing
with about 1/32â spacing between the battens to allow for the assembly to adapt
to the curves of the boat (and probably humidity). Â

Great idea on the plugs--I have found them but thought I'd probably have to
drill them out entirely. That will certainly be my first try before I destroy
anything further.
Unfortunately, the aft 6-18 inches of both the ceiling panel under the cubby
and the panel 'inside' the cubby extending into a closed cabinet were totally
destroyed by the water leak over the years I neglected it!
Thus Charles' suggestion will not work in my case since there are no 'remains'
of the panel to save.
Regarding the bung removal, hopefully this will allow me to remove the
partially destroyed panel. I haven't found a 'seam' yet so the panel may extend
forward and be a single long panel--Murphy lurks!
Thanks for the suggestions,

Hey Charlie, if it is like the panels on my boat you should be able to get the
plugs out reasonably easily, I drilled a small hole in the center and screwed a
wood screw in, it popped the plugs out and I could remove the screws and thus
the panel. I'd go with that before resorting to a power tool... You could
replicate it with thin battens but you'd want some sort of tongue on them so
there weren't visible gaps where the gelcoat above shows through. And don't
press the battens tight together in case they expand with humidity...

Thanks all who have chimed in with thoughts on my 'ceiling' problem.Â
I spoke with Rob at South Shore today and he recalled that C&C sourced this
material to a local shop who has since gone out of business.
My next, probably last hope, is Noah Boatworks in Ontario per one of the
listers. They do have teak battens which may work although I 'think' the
current stuff is a sheet of wood with grooves routed in it.
First, of course, I have to remove some of the good remaining ceiling to
determine how thick it is and, more importantly, what it is. It might be teak,
or teak faced plywood or just plywood stained to mimic teak. As with most boat
projects, they start with at least 1, usually 2 or more steps backward before
any forward progress is made--at least that is how it usually works for me!
Now it would only warm up in coastal NC (highs lately barely get out of the
high 40s), I can begin the backward steps by probably investing in an
oscillating tool so I can remove some of the ceiling without destroying it (1st
step backward!). I may try a Dremel tool first--I have one of those somewhere.
Then I can either make a similar piece myself (of course I would likely need
a router then!) or take the wood to a local shop and have it routed (2nd step
backward).
Thanks again for the listers who helped with the terminology. I will let the
list know what the solution turns out to be.
