Cabin headlining progress

The cabin headlining is nearly done and was a lot trickier than I thought. Lots of paper templates, trial fitting, back home for trimming, fitting again, even a complete design change halfway through to make the fit more snug. The Lewmar hatch trim kit made life a lot easier but there were a lot of curves to take account of. 8mm ply pads were Sikaflexed to the roof, and the headlining boards screwed to that made of 5mm ply covered in foam-backed vinyl. The raw fibreglass coach room now looks cosy.

The original raw cabin interior looked like this:

Now it looks like this:

Next step is to glue high density foam to the hull sides, then glue van lining carpet to the foam. I can only do that when the weather is warmer and drier, to make sure there is no risk of condensation getting in the way of the adhesive.
