Decorating idea for your cruising boat.

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.

Holy crap! That's tacky!!! But not enough to distract from the white carpet on
the WALL!!!!

Bwahahahahaha!

Wall? Bwaaahhahahahahaha. Real sailors call that area of
a sailboat the ceiling.

Despite Gilligan's assurances, this is not real Crapton®. For one thing,
the laugh isn't girly enough, for another, the Crapton could never make
half as clever a pun (not that this one is particularly clever).

I think it is the real Crapton, but without his colon. That would
account for his mild manner. He no longer has a broom quite so far up
his ass.

Hey Gilly,

Does this qualify as the first step to be a better person?

Not sure I've ever heard of the overhead on a boat being called a
"ceiling" by a real sailor either.

Jonathan,

Why are you so fixated on the good Capt's colon?

Ceiling? REAL sailors call the interior PLANKING a ceiling! I'm not
sure cheap rug counts as a ceiling! OTOH, it is good for reducing
condensation. I even have a little bit on my boat, out of sight.

Welcome back Neal. I hope you had a great cruise and avoided most of
the nasty weather that's gone through.

Its good you came back, however. ASA has been totally worthless since
the political season began.

That's OK, Neal® wasn't a real sailor anyway.

There is a "ceiling" on many boats, particularly old wooden ones. It is
the planking along the inner face of the ribs, forming a wall (sort of)
for the cabin.

Thanks! Never knew that.

The group will be worthless only if those two frauds Shenn44 and
ontmbrd come back and present their motorboaters attitude and
lack of understanding of the Rules. And since the women are gone
that's an improvement right away. If only Ganz would grow up and
contribute something worthwhile.

I managed to avoid all the nasty weather. Jeanne was as close to me as any
and she was only a tropical storm at the time (Turks and Caicos).

First off real sailors would call that the overhead not a ceiling. And
every real sailors know plants on boats are bad luck.

Second off, Boats do not have walls, they have bulkheads.
Yer both silly wannabee sailors.

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.

Dave wrote:
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!

Dave wrote:
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?
