[C320-list] Sette Conversion to Bed

[jim brown]

Unless the table was modified in some way it should fit the space after it is in the full down position (assuming the other cushions have been removed first) and rest on some wood blocks on the settee. It is often difficult to get the table all the way down without sitting on it or using quite a bit of force. When all the way down the filler cushion should fit. The bench cushions on my boat (cloth) do have a "bolster" at the edge but I"ve never really slept on the starboard side.

Last spring I purchased my 320(#009) and this year I was hoping to take a group of people sailing for a couple days. When I went to convert the table to a bed I found that there were all kinds of issues that came up. 
1. The table did not collapse all the way down to be level with the normal bench seat 
2. the table didn't fit into the space below the table 
3. the pad that is added to fill in the space of the table was not thick enough to match the cushions that were on the bench seats. 
4. The bench seat cushions are shaped in a way that makes them very difficult to sleep on. 


Does anyone have any hints as to how to make this work. The Vbirth will be taken up with a major boat project I am working on but I was hoping there was a way that the other couple that would be sailing with us could sleep together. I appreciate any suggestions.
