Hi fellow C&C 99 owners,

On the inside of the hull the covering applied is properly called a ceiling.
I am from a family of wooden boatbuilders and we don't like to use
terminology associated with houses on boats but ceiling is defined below
from the Glossary of Nautical terms.

ceiling

Planking attached to the inside of the
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#frame> frames or
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#floor> floors of a
wooden hull, usually to separate the cargo from the hull planking itself.
The ceiling has different names in different places:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#limber_boards>
limber boards,
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#spirketting>
spirketting,
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#quickwork>
quickwork. The lower part of the ceiling is, confusingly to a landsman, what
you are standing on at the bottom of the hold of a wooden ship

Tried to include some pictures but they wouldn't go through on this website.
