Just to reduce the ignorance level around here, in a GRP vessel
the ceiling is comprised by the area between the sole and the
overhead. The overhead is that area which is over one's head
and parallel to the sole.

Vertical surfaces on a boat are called bulkheads.

No, it isn't.

In boats that have ceiling, the ceiling planks can and often do extend
below the cabin sole.

Never heard it described that way. Most GRP vessels don't have what's
generally referred to as a ceiling. The area you're talking about is where
the ceiling would go if there were one.


Maybe this is the real Crapton after all, he's getting dumber with every
post. He doesn't know the difference between a 'ceiling' and a hull liner...

Anybody want to take a swing at the difference between ceiling and
stringers?

NOT applicable on GRP boats. PUTZ!

Athwartships vertical surfaces, yes. All vertical surfaces, no!

Sure. A stringer is intended primarily to provide structural stiffening. A
ceiling may have that effect, but it's not the primary purpose.

Hmm. Not bad... There are a couple of things to note but not a single
definitive difference I can think of. Stringers are usually square or
have a major axis perpendicular to the skin, ceiling is laid in like
planking. Stringers can run longitudinally, horizontally, radially, or
some axis in between; ceiling is usually along the same axis as the
planking or somewhat closer to horizontal. Hard to define exactly, but
it sounds like you know stringers when you see them...

Used to have that crap on the bathroom wall at our marinas' tiki hut,
till someone stole them. Neal?

Beachcomb for some nice little shells. Check out the tropical
hammocks for
some air plants. Combine the two, stick them to the ceiling with
double-
sided tape and VOILA you have some nice, salty decorations to liven
up the interior of your boat.
