Lancer 29 V-berth mattress size

[LadyIris]

I just bought a 79 Lancer 29' sailboat, although I did have an inspector go out to the boat now that I've bought it I need to order a mattress for the v-berth and hav no idea what size to order.

I live 850 miles away from the boat and the current owner lives 500 miles away from it. I have no way of gettig in to the boat and need a mattress to sleep on when I get there. Can anyone help me with dimensions for the interior cushions of this boat?

Emily,

Congratulation on your "new to you" boat. May I suggest you register with SBO and then visit this location: http://lancer.sailboatowners.com/index.php?option=com_bowns&model=399&Itemid=169

Here you will find a list of Lancer 29 owners you can contact for the info. I don't know if the info is available to a "guest". But it will not hurt to register.

Good luck.

Hi, I had a Lancer 30 and have a full set of interior cushions. I no longer have the boat thanks to Ike. I can provide pictures via email and measurements. Cushions are in great shape. Email Cathya800@aol.com

Emily...FYI the 29 and 30 are the same boat (as long as the 29 isn't a power sailor). There was just a change in the designation after the first year. So the used cushions should fit. Barring that, grab a cheap foam egg crate for a twin bed to crash on or rent a cheap hotel room. Congrats and enjoy your new boat.
