Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of Catalpa extends a cabin berth to accommodate a larger mattress by modifying the existing plywood base.2:59 To increase the sleeping area, they remove the original mattress and install additional timber framing, which requires cutting a new plywood sheet to fit the cabin's dimensions.4:06 Because the new mattress is custom-ordered from Artesian Mattresses, the crew creates a precise template using the company’s provided materials and a Stanley knife.3:50 They secure the template with masking tape to ensure an accurate perimeter, accounting for a bulkhead and a rounded corner.9:09 The process highlights the importance of considering companionway size when ordering non-folding mattresses, as the crew must trim the plywood base to navigate the boat's interior.6:27 Once the base is finalized, the custom mattress is delivered and installed, providing a tailored fit for the modified berth.12:57
