    V-Berth headliner replacement 1993 Passage '42

    Hello all - Hoping to get some advice/direction/instructions on replacing headliner on the V-berth walls (moldy, ugly...it's time). I've watched the Sailrite video a gazillion times and get the gist of it. However, the '93 Passage 42 has woodwork where the bed meets the walls (as well as a...

    Pearson 28 water tank access

    Any tips on accessing the water tank in a Pearson 28-1? It is under the v-berth, but I didn’t see an accessible lid for cleaning it, and there is not enough room to push it out of its stand. I am trying not to take apart the whole v-berth if I don’t have to, but I have to either clean it or...

    Water buildup in v-berth

    Hi. Just bought our boat and after getting into it a bit more, found a little pool of water that builds up in the v-berth, at the back port side adjacent to the bath. Looks like it's coming from the back side panel toward the cieling area. Since I'm new to sailing and sailboats, would it be a...

I’ve given the floor and walls a fresh coat of paint. Walls still need yanother coat. Then...

    Increasing air flow in the v-berth

    After installing solar power, the last thing I use shore power for is a 120VAC convecton baseboard at night which does a really good job of keeping the whole cabin (and v-berth) dry year round. I'd like to be free of needing shore power at all, and of course the baseboard doesn't work when I'm...

    Factory V-Berth not level in 1984 C30?

    Hi there! Is it just me or is the bow end of the v-berth higher than the aft end? It seems like the factory molding is a couple of inches higher on the bow end, although I don't have a level to check. I am asking because the PO added some slats and plywood, I think to fight moisture. It would...

    What's that rope under the V Berth?

    Good evening fellow sailors. I decided to take advantage of the balmy weather here in Montreal (6C!!) and survey the inside of Egret, my 1991 26S purchased last spring. Since I am planning of adding double batteries under the V Berth I decided to take some measurements to see if I could insert...
