V berth side pockets
Submitted by ginod on Tue, 2014-05-06 19:49
Hi all
looking at fitting side pockets to the v berth of my boat as there isn't any for storage etc.. Can anyone tell me if they have done this or can recommend anyone to do this or better still if I can do this myself. Any help would be appreciated

Easy enough to whip some up
Easy enough to whip some up out of ply if your half handy and then cover them or have them upholstered. Bit of resin or even varnish on the ply to waterproof it. Glass the bottom (base) sheet and ends of ply onto inside of cabin so you don't have to drill into hull.
Going to add another to my boat when I get the chance (only have one on passenger side.

Easiest way is to buy
Easiest way is to buy melamine from bunnings cut to just over size of desired length, width screw together put in plasticine in the corners lay your cloth in wet out and consolidate it.Once it has set scribe them in you will obviously have to glass them in to the hull or deck which means you have to prep the area by grinding it back not just a light sand or they will delaminate in time if you have a bulkhead at each end you could screw them in and run sika flex along the join,or glass over ply is a option just a little heavier.
