New Spinnaker, thanks to Bill of Fxsails.com


Charleston Harbor Marina is a pretty ok place..


My friend Johnathon found that there aren't many places to sit better than this..


Pan Dragon has the quaterberth option from the factory also- I will post pics of this shortly

Kevin,

I am very interested in any and all information you can provide about your quarter berth including pictures of the berth, navstation, and the starboard sail locker configuration, as well as any measurements you have.

Great pictures of Pan Dragon under sail!!!!

Thanks

Hey Garner,

Here are some pics of the quarterberth setup...


Here is an overall shot of the quarterberth/garage area.  Note the new electrical panel and Link 20 batt monitor I added just inside the companionway.  The link 20 is probably one of the most useful things i have added to the boat.  


The chart table has been rotated 90 degrees with lots of storage.  Also the main electrical panel resides here.  


My new spinnaker fits way back in there, along with the cockpit cushions.


Close up of the quarterberth- notice the fiberglass foot rest that is original to the standard setup nav station.  It is not useful in my arrangement, I am thinking about cutting into it to make chart storage.


Under the quarterberth is where most of the batteries are located in specially made lockers.  There is also room for the battery charger, and tons more storage.  I ended up adding more batteries to the house bank, and fit them in the bilge just forward of the v-drive.


In order to accomodate the extra berth, the starboard lazorette is very shallow.  I don't mind, beause the quarterberth makes great dry storage.  My new spinnaker fits well back in there.

Let me know what measurements you would like.  So far I have only seen one other 365/367 with this setup on yachtworld.  For a while there, i thought i was the only one!

Kevin,

Thank you for posting the pictures.

Very cool... There are only two major changes I have felt the P367 needed to make it the perfect boat for me and they are:
    1. A better Main sail/boom configuration (modified on Sea Dragon over the  last three years.
    2. The rotated NavStation with the quarter berth (You have it).

Your pictures are the first time I have had a chance to understand how the Quarter Berth option would look and function.... What a great addition!!!!!! It is just as I pictured it.

How deep is the Quarter Berth? Does it extend the full length of the cockpit? How is the headroom when sitting at the NavStation?

Thanks again
Garner

Man.....if only THIRD DAY had that qtr berth configuration...I agree with Garner...then it would be the "perfect boat" if there is such a thing!  

I better not let my wife see those photos...or I will be adding one LARGE project to my to-do-list.

Seriously...what do you think it would take to make that large modification?  Hmmmm...could I do it myself...would I be able to pull it off?  Just don't know....and would probably tp too afraid to try!

Garner-
The berth extends down to the lpg locker..  Do you have lpg lockers built into both sides of the cockpit seats?  If not, i suppose you could take it all the way back to that bulkhead that mirrors the one on your port side.  (the one your autopilot linear drive is attached to) I suppose mine extends about 6' 5" or so before it runs into the lpg locker.  


third day-

I don't think i would try it unless your really good with woodworking.  There would be a few new bulkheads that you would have to install between the new berth and the engine compartment, as well and redesigning your nav station.  

It definately does make getting to the engine even harder than your used to.  If you can believe that!  

If you guys would like, i can take a pic of what it looks like empty so you can see the bulkheads and base better.  I can also meaure it for you.

Kevin,

Yes I have propane tanks on both sides.. I have thought about removing the starboard tank since we have no need for two tanks as a tank of fuel will last us 2-3 seasons even using the propane heater.

I would like to see pictures of the area empty so I can see the bulkheads and base better.

Do you have engine access from the Quarter Berth? How far out into the cabin does the Nav Station extend?

Thanks again for the information and great pictures.

Garner,

Sorry for the delay in getting the empty QB pics up.  I should be there this weekend with my camera.  There is prettty good engine access by the access door they put in the bulkhead.  Removing the bulkhead is also an easy task(just a few screws), that gives even better, but not fantastic access to the engine.

I will get some pics of the bulkhead removed for you as well.

Your right about not need both LPG tanks, I havent changed mine in over a year, and i'm a live aboard.

Here some photos of Pan Dragon from Last weekend.  We anchored off of Perdido Key, close to Pensacola FL.  

This anchorage is called Ft. Mccrae.  Very cool place.  A little overcast, but still a great weekend.

Just got back from a 8 day trip from Pensacola FL to Apalachicola FL and back!   Great sailing, great wind, not a drop of rain, and beautiful scenery.   We visited Pt. St. Joe, Cape San Blass, Apalachicola, Panama City, and Destin.  

Here are some pics for ya all.

Pictures taken by a commercial photo helicopter.  I haven't purchased any yet, so they have watermarks....  Maybe someday I will be able to justify the extra expense.  Over all, I think they must have taken 30 different photos.

Cool photos Kevin.  How much do they charge for a Print?

[kevin barber]

It's $250 for a single 8x10 print, then it goes up from there. 

If you want the digital file, it's $500.00.   

Way too much for me right now...
