Sleeping
I have a 1996 281 and my wife and I sleep in the aft berth. We are shorter than you. At 5'11, you would probably be more comfortable sleeing at an angle across the berth. I'm 5'8" and my feet and head just touch the hull on either side when we sleep straight across the bed. Headroom in the aft abin is also very limited. You can sit up on the port side but not stand up. I have photos but just like the ones you find on the Beneteau USA website and those enclosed with 281's for sale ads, it is hard to get a picture that relly shows the entire cabin. Best way to find out is for the two of you to get in and lie down. If you have other questions about 281's let me know. Bill
