Tim,
I sympathize on the back issue. My orthopedist says my nearly-80-year-
old back, in layman terms, is mush. I don't know how much usable beam
there is in a M-17 cabin, but in my old Cape Cod Catboat I made my
version of a recliner or hammock. Worked great for my back. Good Old
Boat had it in their March/April '05 issue, if you have old ones. If
not, I could scan and send it to you. Even has a photo of my exotic
dancer granddaughter in it! Wish I had room in my Rejoyce! for one,
but too narrow. Bummer.
