The old wallpaper had to go! It had lasted the first 40 years well. The factory installed heavy duty fabric backed vinyl. It had been painted over twice, the first time was a blue similar to the Uniflite blue and the second coat beige.
Strips of door-skin plywood have been cut by Blue Ocean Yacht Services to use as templates for the arborite to be cut to fit. Using a glue gun Joanie is able to stick together a frame that follows the shape exactly. Above the power outlet has been trimmed around the area to be removed in the shop before fitting.
The hot glue gun is handy way to tack everything in place and pop off once the template is completed. The template pattern making can be used for headliner panels as well. Anywhere you need to find the exact fit and shape. It's simple to cut small strips to quickly go around small trim details.
Above Joanie has gone around the sliding cupboard and allowed for a join for the arborite sheet size.
The vee-berth is packed with new upholstery covered in Sunbrella fabric. It is tucked away until the cabin is finished. We had to have a quick fit and see how it all looked in place.
This is the passenger helm seat, feeble at best. The second best seat in the house and it is two skinny slabs of foam, no extra support or comfort or detail.
