Has anyone done anything so major as pull down the drip rails and completely
replace the cabin top wood? We’ve had a setback with our choice of materials
and I might have to pull the wood off the cabintop completely. Not excited
about the idea of that.But back to those drip rails. I can see a set of bungs and thus screws along
the finished face facing the salon. Are they also bolted in on the for and
aft bulkheads I dont’ see any evidence of this. I’m going to have a boat
builder look at this before I do anything drastic, but I was just curious if
anyone has had to do anything so extreme.Breathing deeply, in and out…

Hi Patrick,
Are you talking about the inside or outside of the cabin? If the ones under
the portlights inside, they come out with the removal of those bungs and
screws.Remember, in a production boat, easier is better – they’re not going to do
really fancy things on trim when simple screws will do.Have fun!

I’m referring to the ones inside the cabin. Huh, they’d come out that easy?
I figured they were structural.-p

They are structural in the sense that they help stiffen the plywood that
sheathes the inside of the cabin. They also provide a handhold and a place
to put business cards, snack bars, and all sorts of little items.Other than that, they are easily removable (except for those bungs).
I have hull # 8, and I have backing trim as well for the plywood. I suspect
that’s removed after removing the drip rail.Bob

I replaced a section of the interior coach trim around one of the portlights in the V-berth. As I recall, removing the drip-rail was trivial. I drilled a small hole in the center of each bung. Put a screw in each and popped the bung out. I removed the screws and the rail came off. The damaged section ran under the forward bulkhead, so I used a multi-tool with a saw bit and straightedge to cut the panel. The forward section of the panel connects to the piece on the bow, so I cut there too. After removing the top trim piece and portlight, the damaged section came out. I assume that you have similar deterioration around one or more of your portlights. If you are handy with tools, this repair is fairly simple. I can send photos of the work if it might help.

We already put up a new layer of plywood, but we used poor material I
thought it was birch plywood. It’s MDF with birch faces. Now we have a leak
that is causing the MDF to expand in two spots so we’re going to have to
pull that down, but we put it up with epoxy over the old wood, so either we
grind off the MDF or pull out all of the wood and put up new wood.Very disappointing… calling crosscut hardwoods today to talk marine grade
plywood with them.-p

I replaced the small section in my V-berth with new teak-faced marine plywood. The plywood was thinner that the original stock by about 1/16 inch and had to be shimmed. I used some oak veneer I had laying around for the shim. Worked fine. I got the wood at goosebay lumber. Shipping would kill you to buy plywood from them, but they have unbeatable prices on teak lumber.
