Thanks to Joel Bergen for this design which he did for his navigator 'Ellie'.
I now have a semi completed sleeping platform for my aft port cockpit side. The sleeping platform slips under the thwart 3cm coaming overhang and then rests on the slotted uprights. The whole lot can be taken part and collapsed into the floor well where flat straps hold them secure.
So a bit more sanding and then several layers of varnish. finally some thin neoprene strip will be stuck to edges to act as 'cushioning'.
I look forward to testing it come Easter!

This is a great idea! You increase the range of your sailing voyages and have more fun!
It was Joel's idea - brilliant concept
Looks great, Steve! Nice and sturdy. I need to re-make mine out of thicker plywood.
hey Joel, belated happy new year - how is retirement going? I may have done overkill- 12mm ply but we'll see; just finished Danish oiling it all. Now waiting for weather to improve so can go camp cruising
