Anyone know what this part is? From a Catalina 27

Found this with some random bits from my boat

To me, it looks like a piece of trim, with a veneer, like you sometimes see on companionways. I bet there's a pair to it, somewhere on the boat. Imagine it with the narrow part at the bottom.

Good luck with the search.

I'll bet it is supposed to go over one of the "doorways" towards the v-berth. The plastic track is for you to hang a curtain.

OldManMirage is correct.

Above the main bulkhead, the one with the shroud chainplates bolted to it, is a cabintop arch, a beam, that sits between the compression post and the deck.

There may be another cabintop molding at the entrance to the v-berth. This piece attaches to the cabintop in one of those two locations and has a slot to hold slugs, pretty much plastic beads, to mount a sliding curtain.

It’s cosmetic, not structural.
