[Rhodes22-list] cockpit sleeping

[John Shulick]

  My cockpit has a teak trim board running around the inside edge, about 3/4"
inch lower than 
the seat.  I've been thinking about cutting the plywood to drop down 
on this edge to fill in the footwell.  Makes for much smaller pieces 
to stow.  But I don't know if the plywood will stay put once we put 
some weight on it   More research is required!

John my concern with your modification is can that teak strip hold up under
the combined weight of you and whoever doing whatever under the stars and
such. For myself and the wife this would require at least 1/4" bolts running
every foot or so along the teak strip before I would trust it. Why mark up
such a nice trim piece when you are using the inflatable mattress to make up
any differences in heights? If you do manage to shift the plywood while
under load then I salute you you salty old dog!!! 

Have fun
John Shulick
