how did you remove your headliner? how did you (or plan to) replace it after your deck repairs?
please do send pictures when you get the chance. the previous owner of my 1973/74 totally gutted the interior of bulkheads, furniture, etc. so there is nothing in place to go on. thankfully i found this forum and the contessa corner site!

anyone had problems with the fiberglass cabin headliner? apparantly, on my 1974 boat, deck leaks seeped between the liner and deck. the result is a badly blistered headliner. now the head liner is not uniformly attached to the deck.
even more disconcerning is a large fore and aft crack in the headliner where it covers transverse mast support beam (at the corner where the beam turns downward from the coachroof to the can side). i'll need to get under the headliner to inspect and repair the possibly damaged beam...
of course i will fill or seal all deck fittings to stop future leaks but what should i do about the headliner itself?
why not remove it? or should i attempt repairs?
thanks in advance for any advice.

just purchased a contessa 26 supposedly built in 1973. i found the boat in ohio so i assumed she was built by JJ Taylor.
the hull identification placard reads: MDZ 99023048. its a bronze placard riveted on and may not be original... inside the boat the wooden registration board reads: Of. No. 360274 Reg. Ton 3 32/100
there is a fiberglass headliner on the interior...
from these clues can anyone tell me the builder. hull #, or appox year of my boat?
any help is greatly appreciated.
