The V-berth also clamors for attention

after having been neglected for some time.





Still in August 2013
The V-berth bunk top is spiled and cut to shape. The spiling pattern is perfect and the pieces fall in place with very little adjustment.









Access hatches, one for each bulkhead compartment, are cut out.

The bunk top will be fastened after the interiors of the compartments are epoxy encapsulated and painted.



Cutouts go back in and are fitted with latches. 









Bulkhead No. 1 is fitted at the forward end of the berth.





























The V-berth filler is a removable panel that fits in the footwell aft of the berth to make it into a double bed.

Sliding wooden latches will lock it in place against the side bulkheads.





A sliding cover will be made for the bottom so that the filler can be used to store small items.
