DrWatson 375 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Sorry Fusion, I have a skilly on board as well.... And I thought I was the only one, Damnit! When I'm in the country I have a mint plant... It's hard work to keep, but the Mojitos are worth it Just got to get the lime trees sorted... I'm moored near Chelsea so sugar is no problem... I guess by now I have a mussel farm on my boat too Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 543 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 A custom built inner sprung mattress on the master cabin bunk. We have a Queen size Double inner sprung. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Me Too ! Bought a virtually brand new Queen size inner sprung off Trade Me, and cut it down to suit the V-berth in the 1020. Took many hrs cutting and sewing, but looks professional, and was awesome to sleep on down the Sounds at Christmas ! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Have you got padding on the underside of deck for when you try to sleep on the innersprung when it gets rough? Steamed wood can be bent into shape for boat building Bimini Babe. I also have a 100 metres of garden hose on a reel for connecting to the nearest tap. Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I built a sprung slat timber base for the matress. It gives great support, enough movement for just a little more comfort and plenty of air movement throught he matress which is essential on a boat. The airspace currently under the bed is a good 4 -500mm deep, so there is plenty of air movement. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dry Reach Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 hammock anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Only my feet are under the fore deck. Forward cabin has reasonable headroom, so not an issue. Inner sprung mattress is twice as deep as the std squabs are, so awesomely comfortable. We spent two weeks in Queen Charlotte Sound at Christmas, and I can't ever remember sleeping so well ! Took the mattress out after summer, and is in storage at home now. I race JE, so the extra weight and gaurantee it would get wet, mean it's better off at home ! Link to post Share on other sites
Elenya 33 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Ice axes, crampons, snow stake avalanche probes? Always handy to have around onboard. The cat onboard would e useful bed warmer for the innersprung matress. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 If you intend using all that gear while you are cruising, you will need more than a cat to keep you warm. Strange, I know, but I would prefer a woman to help warm my bed - I may even find one, one day Link to post Share on other sites
