First bunk top!!

Good progress has been made since I wrote last: I started by bonding in the bunk dividers and cutting out the rest of the V-berth structure and the chain locker lid. I spent the next 6 days cleating up the whole interior ready for the bunk tops, and as of last night I have the first one cut out!

Fitting the cleats took much longer than I anticipated but happily the process of spiling for and cutting out the tops has so far been quick and painless. Having the first bunk top on makes the interior feel one step closer to a cosy cabin!

Dividers bonded in and chain pipe fits.
V-Berth structure complete with cleats in place.
Quarter berth cleats on. The aft cleats proved a nightmare as there’s very little to reference off for getting their height and angle right.
Starboard quarter berth top on!! I’ve been looking forward to this moment since day 1!
