[Rhodes22-list] V berth and tiller cover extensions

Sun Jul 5 09:47:15 EDT 2009

Ron,

Thanks for the info, I used some leftover 3/4", a little bit of overkill I guess.  I also removed the panel, which is attached to the counter bottom via its hinge, and it serves well as a galley surface/dining table (small)/and nav table.  A good addition.

Shouldn't have a problem finding 15" when we get home from Padre Island and our family reunion.  I'll look.

Hi to Fuzz, and best sailing!
