Additional sleeping berths

Added a couple extra sleeping berths. This one turns the two person settee into a single bunk for someone up to about 510. It could be a little longer; however, I wanted to be able to get in and out of the galley easily.

Also left enough room to easily move from the forward head to the exit in the event of an emergency.

This a view of the supports. Easily supports 225 lbs or more. The legs are screwed/glued to the cross brace and the feet. (considered making the foot removable. May go back later as storage would be easier). Hard to see but the far leg is longer and sits on the galley floor.

Added a 4 hinge to make the bed fold up for storage in the v-berth. This came in handy during a 5 day trip. Did not have to covert the table into a berth each night and we were still use the table.

Still working on a cushion combination. That doesnt require an extra cushion to store. So far the settee cushion and one from the cockpit worked best. Need to add a couple of snaps to keep cushion from sliding off.

Also made something similar for the cockpit. That one is good for using when docked, we often have a few extras for overnights that involve docking. Cant (well should say shouldnt) use while anchored as it would need to be moved to get access to the wheel.
