Yep, but still it's difficult to sleep in a normal bunk without
additional padding.
My most comfortable sleeping has been done in a sleeping bag on a pipe
berth.

when you are tired, sleeping on the cabin sole against the leeward bench seat
in the salon is pretty damned fine. Restful sleep because you are not getting
thrown around enough to wake up.

If a boat tacks
while you are unsecured, and asleep, it can be bloody uncomfortable.

nah, you just slide to the other side of the cabin sole, or the other side of
the bunk if that is where you are, or you change bunks.

My first strong gale at sea was like that. Trouble was the watch coming
below to navigate etc. dropped a lot of water on me. Still slept though.
Now I love a quarter berth -even more than the leeward settee. When I
was young I usually slept in a pipe cot forward but I'm not sure I'd
still like the express elevator followed by the shuddering crash as I
now own the boat!

Yep, made the point.
Classy comfortable interiors are of little use at sea.


not when you are sleeping maybe, but rather nice the rest of the time.

Most creature comforts are only
good while you're in port.

That's the POINT, dumbass! Cruisers usually stop to rest, see the sights and
don't own stripped out spartan boats...as I've proven!

Real sailors don't measure themselves by how
uncomfortable they are.

Ganzy owns a miserable Cal 20...he HAS to think that way.

RB

Sure. Whatever you say.

The rest of the time, the issue
is whether or not the feature contributes to survivability.


I'll let your statements stand as their own testament to your (lack of)
prowess
as a sailor.

And I thought Horass was stupid....

Dayhopping down the coast doesn't count.
Try sailing to a decent destination and see how much use you get from
your fancy interior on the way.
Two, three, or 6 days at sea will soon convince you that real sailors
have little use for traditional creature comforts.

But being at sea is only part of cruising. A proper cruising boat should have
good sea bunks as well as comfort.

RB

Yep. I find that if I can't move once I'm in the bunk, I'll sleep fine. I've
awakened a couple of times to see window under water.

I like my bedding to be warm and dry. Isn't that a creature comfort?
