Hi sailors, we are miles from our boat and it's been a long time since we put a mattress topper on our cushions in the V-Berth.  Does anyone know the widest and longest measurements of the V-Berth cushion area.  Thanks, Kerk

Hi Kerk,

We just happened to measure our V berth last weekend for this purpose. We're actually looking to get some memory foam and cut it to size.  (somebody else started a thread describing how they laid their cushions out to make a template to cut the foam)....
The measurement we came up with is approximately 78" X 88".   :abd:
The sail, the play of its pulse so like our own lives: so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labors hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective.

78 wide by 88 long or the other way around?

Hi Kerk,
Here's whae we did.
We bought a king size three inch memory foam topper at Costo, took it to our boat, laid the topper out on the dock, Laid the V-berth mattress on top of it as a template and cut the topper with a electric carving knife. Also bought standard king size sheets and just tucked the excess under neith. You can use the excess foam for pillows or other nifty things.

Kirk : Watch out on the answers from  other than a MK I owner.  

I'd believe someone's answer from a close hull #.  A thought
