Berth linen?

[searay-bob]

I am looking for a supplier of sheets and spreads for my 1989 340SD Sea Ray.
Does anyone have an idea where to buy these weird shape linens?
Thanks
Bob

Did you google "v-berth bedding"? They're out there. Pricey, too.

We use regular bed sheets on ours. Tuck in the overhang.

You could do that or sweet talk your wife, mother in-law or anyone else semi-skilled in the art of sewing. I can't imagine it would be that difficult... although I can't imagine doing it myself either though.

After shopping around and finding custom linens cost prohibitive, I purchased a sewing machine for ~$100 and altered some standard linens to fit our v-berth myself.

It really wasn't that difficult once I got the hang of the machine. I also made a custom mattress and linens for the baby so she'd have a comfy place to sleep in the cabin beside our bed (another cheap and easy project).

The sewing machine comes in handy for other things around the house as well so I consider it a good investment. You just have to put your pride aside and think of it as a power tool .

It would be nice to have a larger machine capable of stitching Strataglass and Sunbrella so I could do my own canvas work, but a machine like that prolly' costs big bucks.
