Re: [Cal_Boats] New floor boards ? - Tripp

Guess I disqualify myself, Nick. I don’t know the boat well enough to comment. Did you name it “Long Strange Tripp”?

Charlie, new flooring will be for the Tripp 36, the Cal 9.2 has a fiberglass molded in flooring.

Hi, Nick. Which boat is this for? We use plywood for CAL 25s, which is a deep bilge encapsulated style set-up. I’ve edone a couple replacements using marine ply, although others recommend something with hardwood plies in it. The CAL 25 has lateral plywood sheets glassed in the keel (would these be called stringer?). I built those up to floor level to provide addition floor support. Also went to stronger wood for the battens (right word?) that provide support for the hatch boards in the cabin sole. Also put some rubber at the top of those stringers to cushion the floor.I have some tricks for cutting out these sole openings so that the removed piece can be nicely used as the hatch board. Can discuss further if this makes any sense and is useful.

Hello, Anyone have suggestions for new floor boards, perhaps fiberglass sheets vs plywood? Just took out nice cabin sole ply with some rotted sections, but think fiberglass balsa or foam core may last longer and be more durable. Of course I have not checked out pricing yet, but know marine ply is really high so cost may not be an issue between the two. Thanks in advance for your comments, this is a great site. By the way my Cal 9.2 "Jade" is still for sale at under 10K with great a sail inventory in Detroit. Our new Tripp 36 has been great the past few years now. Regards, Nick

Charlie, The Tripp 36 is named "Affirmed" after the last horse that won the triple crown in 1978. Check us out at www.affirmedracing.com it's a cool site.
