Who did the bunk beds in the V-berth on the 37-C? Can I see more pictures? Pat McCartin 1979 H30 "Therapy" Lake Lanier, GA

Do you mean this?
Are you referring to the attached picture? I originally posted that here on HOW after looking at interiors on Yacht World. Have no idea how much labor and dollars were invested. Looks really hard to do. They must have cut out the starboard locker to get that cabinet in there. And how do you get the width that you need on the bottom mattress, especially at the top(aft) end where the cutout is?

Don Adams, I think
Pat, I now own the boat (hull #19) with the additional berth to starboard in the V-berth, and I slept in it last weekend at Pier 39 in San Francisco! It works just fine, so long as you don't sit up too fast. I am pretty sure the bunk was built and added by the first owner, Don Adams, of Sausalito. I have tried to track him down (to thank him for great workmanship, and wonderful maintrenance) without success. If you are interested in trying to build something like that, send me an address and I will take a few pictures of the details and send them to you. There is no documentation but it looks pretty straightforward. The boat was originally named Great Haste, and sailed out of Sausalito for 15 years before being sold to the second owner in the San Diego area. We bought it last December, renamed it Good News, and brought it back to San Francisco Bay in June where it is berthed at Marina Bay. The second owner reupholstered the boat, and it looks today exactly as you saw it in the picture Ed posted. Regards, Sanders s/v Good News

Thanks!!
Sanders, I'm glad you're enjoying the boat. That looks like something I can do, If you have anymore pix I'd love to see them. Pat McCartin kd4yor@hotmail.com 1979 H30 "Therapy" Lake Lanier, GA

Beautiful Boat....
Sanders, I remember when Ed posted those pictures I was able to find more of the boat pics on the net. I always wondered who owned that vessel as the work was very impressive and I was hoping that the new owner would share the details of that transformation on the Cherubini site. Any possibility of posting some digital photo's to the forum? I know that many of us would love to see more details on probably one of the finest 37C interiors I've ever seen. Rather than start a beeline of querries for hard copies of your boat, if you can digitally get them on the forum that would be great. If that's not possible, I would be happy to compensate you for some extra photo's as I think you have some great ideas there! She is truly an excellent example of a 37C and would love to see more.

More info coming
Gosh, you guys are encouraging me to get back over to the slip and do some more varnishing before the rains begin! Yes, that's the Good News salon, Ed. The stove is actually a wood burner, designed for wood chips or charcoal. I use charcoal and am very careful about ventilation. It will heat up the cabin in about 10 minutes. And, I will try to get some decent current pictures together and post them on the photo forum after the weather turns bad. Till then, I'll be out sailing (when work does not interfere). Incidentally, my old college roomate Bill Rountree lives on Lake Lanier, and my wife and I lived and worked at Cape Canaveral in the 60s and 70s and go back often to visit in-laws. We rent a Catalina 22 on the Indian River when we need to be on the water. Small world, aint it? Cheers, Sanders s/v Good News Sacramento

Another view.
This view makes it look like the original v-berth was not altered. But it is hard to tell what is around to the right behind the shower bulkhead. And it appears the cabinetry over the foot of the v-berth was removed.

who did the bunk beds
That is a beautiful interior and I would also be interested in seeing more of it. Regarding the stove, I have the same on my boat. It is a must for winter sails. One January morning, with a thin layer of ice around us at anchor, that stove warmed the boat to 80+ degrees for breakfast in a matter of minutes. The company appears to be out of business now as I tried to track down a replacement part for it recently. If anyone knows differently, I would appreciate the info.
