Thanks Cindy. Good to be here. The layout of our boat is different.
Elysium (soon to be Adoxographi) has a V-berth that closes off as a
cabin using either the port hanging locker door or the starboard head
door. The doors close in both directions, quite cool. The bunk
extends aft to the bulkheads except at the center which is cut out
revealing lockers and drawers below. The bunk is filled in with
inserts forming a shelf that the cushion insert rests on to complete
the bunk.
