Pattern for v-berth

[BaseCampAnne]

Hi,

I am hoping someone might have a paper pattern cut out for the 25 v-berth.

I am most willing to pay for postage both ways if you are willing to let me borrow it rather than trying to pull out the cushions and negotiate the docks and ramp and stuffing them into the car, bring them home, etc.

Thanks!

Anne

Anne: What use will you be making for the paper pattern ? If you do take out the cushions it's really only necessary to take out one side and one center cushion as the V-berth is symmetric. Each center cushion is same width I believe so a center line can be determined easily.

Be aware that the sides of the berth slope outwards to the shape of the hull if you're thinking of installing a memory foam mattress.

Hi,

I have purchased a bed topper at Costco and need to trim it to fit the shape of the pad(s). I have not opened it and am waiting till I understand precisely what I need to do first. I am guessing that it will not fit under the leatherette "bumpers."

I also have a bedspread that I need to trim and hem, while still having room to use it as a cover.

I hope to bring along others on the boat who are not campers and ideally will have a very comfy sleep area for guests.

If it seems like it will be more trouble than it is worth after I figure it out, I will simply put a quilt or something similar down on top of the bed cushions and use my sleeping bag.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
