    Here is the port settee/main birth with seat back in position for relaxing. The seat back doubles as the birth extender by detaching and attaching to the edge of the birth. It will extend the bed to about 40" at its widest, also this allows full access to the v-birth/head.

    And here it is with the seat back in the double birth mode... you will notice the weird shape missing. This piece will have to be inserted into place to make a solid bed surface and then stored elsewhere when not in use

    btw, the footwell opening isnt large enough... i started my cut small, but it needs to gain about 3" in height to accommodate the cushion height. It also needs to get wider...

    here is the mock up of the folding table. not sure yet as to whether the arm is going to be fixed to the pole and allow the pole to swivel in place or fix the pole and allow the arm to pivot... i am leaning towards having the table arm pivot and detach so I could use the table in the cockpit, weather permitting.

    table in the stowed position but with one leaf flipped up for a nav table or a little more counter space for the sink

    thanks, but actually, not fast enough.... however, a bit faster than some of the other rebuilds here on the Ariel Forum. but, i have been given a gift of time so I am trying to get as much accomplished and back in the water this summer. The cabin is starting to take shape, almost feels like a sailboat again, but I still have a long way to go, and a lot more head scratching. We will see at what level of finish she is when I put her back in the water. In terms of when she goes back in the water, that remains to be seen as I will have to take a month long break from mid May to mid June to move from SF to Philly. After which I wont be alone and able to work as much as choose, sooo, I need to get as much done as I can. Thankfully, the winter here is winding down and I should be able to get more done on a typical day.

    Thumbs up Captain Soup

    Been often here to see your astonishing remodel!

    With appologies to John Keats:
    Time's sea hath been ten years at its slow ebb...
    Long hours have to and fro let creep the sand...
    Since I was tangled in the Ariel's beauty-web...
    And snared by the ungloving of what I planned!

    All speed!

    i believe that the previous toilet pedestal location will be behind a low bulkhead for storage/water tank

    Happy St. Patty's day! took a couple pics. getting the v-berth sorted. Took me a while to get the first athwartship piece set up. measure this, measure that, eyball this, check level here, make a template, shave down... scratch head. start process over again. however, once i get a key piece set in place I can move a bit more quickly... anyway, stbd side berth with the two drawers underneith and open storage below that. (The under storage may get a door later.)
