Has anybody had experience in lifting the cabin sole in a Cape Dory.
My CD36, hull #76, has a teak & holley vaneer over what looks like
plywood fastened to athwartship floor joists.
My question is: is the teek & holley glued to the plywood or is it screwed down? i.e., can it be lifted off without damaging it?

Re: cabin sole construction?
David,
I have a 1979 CD36 hull #2 and took the floor of the Main Salon up last fall. On my boat the floor is comprised of 3/4" ply with a teak/holley veneer glued to it. The whole salon section lifts up as one piece. If you take a look at the link below and navigate to the plumbing page, you can see what it looked like under my floor. It was necessary to remove a bunch of small trim pieces. There are also 2 pieces of trim that cap the verical sides of the bulkheads dividing the main salon from the galley and nav station that sit on top of the floor section a bit. I ended up destroying mine when I tried to get them off so I had to replace them.
If you have any questions, feel free to email direct if you like.

Re: cabin sole construction?
The sole is made of teak and holly plywood. I doubt you can get it out without damaging it. You can buy sheets of the stuff, though. But it is rather pricey. Why do you want to take it out? Fuel tank leaking?David Romer wrote: Has anybody had experience in lifting the cabin sole in a Cape Dory.

hatches in the cabbin sole to provide more bilge access for
increased storage.
