Hi, Tim The Lazyboy seat is comfortable and I've stumbled upon a second, always desirable use for the cushions: If I stack them a certain way they come to the right height to form an extension for the v-berth (assuming I'm sleeping on the stbd side, which I've been doing lately).
The one drawback can sometimes seem a serious one, though. The cushions, when not in use, do tend to get in the way. The less clutter and more accessible things are, the more pleasant life aboard. If you decide to make it, I'd suggest going with the high-density foam and even then remember that the quarterberth is mostly made of the incompressible part so you'll need to make the extension somewhat higher because it will compress, putting you even with the rest of the settee if you've allowed enough. I almost got it perfect; could've maybe had the foam extension a half-inch or so higher. There might be another way to skin this cat that would avoid the space-consuming foam blocks, I don't know, but it is probably worth some thought. ************ Oh yes, the kite video. I believe that is a Dana 24 he's sailing. Yves Gilenas (sp?) of Cape Horn windvane fame, did the same thing some years earlier for his round-the-world trip in Jean-du-Sud, an Alberg 30.
