V-berth Insert

[Lance Jones]

For those who have opened up storage space under the V-berth using this modification (http://www.c34.org/projects/projects-v-berth-louvered-doors.html), I have added teak strips to the ledge that the V-berth insert sits on when in the mid-position. By doing this, I can still lower the insert to the mid-position and keep it there. When I did the original project, I couldn't lower the insert to our favorite, mid-position. Now, by adding the teak strips, it isn't any trouble at all.

Granted, the doors can't be opened but, all one has to do is raise the insert, open the door, get what you need, close the door, and then return the insert to the lower position.

Ironically, while doing this I discovered, I had used the crib board retaining pieces from one of my Catalina 22's. I had removed them from a C-22 I built as a race boat.

You have to log into the wiki with the same log in info you use for the message board.

I thought you did this before when you wrote your great galley access article.

[Lance Jones]

I wrote it and I think you posted it for me.

Ok, the wiki is now up @ http://www.c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=V-Berth_Insert_Modification_for_Louvered_Doors_above. I'll add a picture soon.
