Hi Rachel: I am 5'3", recently spent two nights on my M17 4 berth model (one jammed in the quarterberth and one in the cockpit), and I am intrigued with your idea of joining the settee berths into a double. On this particular weekend, the V berth was filled with the usual junk. How did you place the board?
Hi Maria, I never got to the "permanent" implementation stage because I got heavily into the repair and restoration part after discovering wet deck core. By the time I'd fixed all that my life had taken a different turn and I sold the boat. Basically, I had just stuffed some square boat cushions (those supposedly life-saver cushions that I've only ever seen used as seat cushions) into the gap to test my idea. I like the idea of dual purpose cockpit filler/cabin filler boards. That's one of the things I love about boats; how everything works two (or more) ways :-) --- Rachel Former owner, M-17 #334 Former owner, M-15 #517 Currently cruising on Westsail 32 #412
