I need to tackle this job in my aft cabins but I really don’t want to take the lot down. The stuff is serviceable, just saggy. It’s an awkward shape so I don’t want to make panels.
We have a 1980s oceanis 390. We like her but she doesn’t need to look perfect inside.
I am thinking of two options:
1) get some quarter inch teak strip, and screw it threw the vinyl into deck lining with tiny countersink screws into piloted hole, drilled with a stop to penetrate 2mm, so I need 6mm long screws I think. Use say a screw every 8” so even if some don’t grab it’ll hold up the batten
2) I cut the lining lengthways down the cabin, peel back a little each side and clear the old glue along the gap then bond a batten to the fibreglass. Then pull one side of the lining and staple to the batten. Do same with other edge. Then screw teak trim over the two edges and into the wood to make a wood, vinyl sandwich.
Anyone tried that?
