Lee Cloth

Purchased some brown canvas, webbing, and supporting clips for the lee cloth arrangement. I have reverse engineered the lee cloth design and layout used on Sumac, one for port, and one for starboard quarter birth.


Materials and cost:

2 meters of canvas = 24$ ( on sale, 50% off at Fabricland, GO NOW IF YOU NEED FABRIC FOR SPRING)
2 sets of clips = 9$
2 Sets of sewing needles = 3$
Strong UV thread = 4$
Webbing 6 meters = 6$
TOTAL 46$



Essentially, while under-way, sleepy pecker-heads will not sleep in the V -birth, and will instead snuggle into a 28" x 58" coverage of canvas with adjustable straps (for those of us that need to loose a little weight around our mid sections). The long side of the cloth (from the picture above, directly opposite of the strap side), will be fastened to the inner fibreglass liner, under the quarter birth cushions.  The strap end will be fastened to the overhead storage area shelf (see image below). Will see how this arrangement works in the spring when I get a chance to install.
