We have a delightful port bunk extension system in our F30… in fact, we have a two stage extension system. You’re right, it is the best bunk for sleep and getting up from…but when extened to it’s full potential, it is delightful. Will post pictures soon, Fargo NARISA F30#12seychellois_lib <seychellois_lib@…> wrote: Reefing Based upon info I received from the board I permanently installed blocks on my two most used reefing points. Installed at the leech
cringles. For anyone interested in reducing the friction in your reefing system, this is an absolute winner. I probably reefed eight or ten times during a recent 220 NM trip. I’d guess the job was at least 50% easier with those blocks installed, much less friction. It was a really easy mod so there’s no excuse not to do it if your sailing grounds require reefing on a routine basis as mine do. Bunk Aboard my F30 I use the main cabin port settee as my berth pretty much all the time, as far as I am concerned its the most comfortable bed on the boat. Furthermore I can respond more quickly from this bunk than the others. Unfortunately its narrow. I would kill to have one of those slide out bunk width extenders. When I look at some of the for sale listings on yachtworld I can see that a few F30s were equipped with them. In the pictures I can see a telltale wooden brace installed
horizontally on the bulkhead below the table and right at the settee seat height. This apparently provides support for one end of the extension. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how the rest of the system is set up. Does anyone have this feature aboard their F30? and if so could you kindly describe how it is configured? I would like to try and build one for my boat.
