With the warmer weather, I have been able to sleep on Pochade while doing work to her while she is on the hard. I am finding those big , heavy, hinged boards behind the settee backs a real PIA. Has anyone removed them? I think I am going to take at least one side off and try it. For now will probably just make canvas cover for the two openings, but would eventually have a wood door made.
I am fairly tall, so do not see having the deeper salon settee seat an issue. Other then that I can not see any benefit to them. Am I missing something?

Re: CD30 - salon settee back boards
A PO of KAYLA installed bronze bolt pins on each of the settee backs. They mate up with bronze sleeves mounted in the bulkheads. When pinned up, there is plenty of room for sleeping.
I'll try to take some pictures soon...

Re: CD30 - salon settee back boards
Thanks, Michael & Toni. Mine are already hinged and have a bolt that can lock them up. The only thing is then you can't access the storage behind it easily. Of course this is a benefit while under sail in that it keeps things in that storage shelf from flying across the cabin in sporty conditions.
