Sealine T50

[Javelin]

Picked up a T50 today as I've got some damage repairs to do on the stbd bow and side.

Was pretty impressed with her actually.
Felt very solid and stable at 24 knots, far better than at 16 - 18knts
Very easy to handle at slow speeds and slotted her into a very tight berth, stern to tide and wind with ease.

However access is pretty limited to the hull to gain access to the stanchion bases.

In the forward cabin as a start can anyone tell me if the headlining is held with poppers, velcrow or other system.
The inner lining on first inspection gives little away on how it's fixed also so if anyone has a tip or two it might save me digging away with a flat bladed screw driver.

Try the sea line forum, there are a couple of ex sea line staff on there who will know.

It can be cheaper and easier to drill a 3 or 4" hole in the topsides below the stanchion bases and glass it back in when completed, than to dismantle the interior.

If its anything like my SC35 then the headlining in the forward cabin is simply stuck on with glue / mastic.

It'll either be fir tree connectors, velcro or sikkaflex, and whichever it is the removal method is the same. Stick a flat bladed implement under the corner and ease it downwards until it releases, or you can at least see whats holding it. I wouldn't use a screwdriver, as they are normally too thin and can damage the panel, but I guarantee you'll find something suitable in your wife's/mum's cutlery draw. If the covering is microsuede, as they often are, wash your hands before trying to remove them as they have an amazing ability to attract dirt.
