Door Sizes?

[Sailingmaple]

I'm currently away from the boat, with an odd request.  Does anyone know the size of the head door and/or v-berth door?

Thanks In advance!

Fwd. cabin door is 66 1/2" X. 22 1/4".
Head door is 65 1/2" X 19 1/2".

Are you making new doors?   Cheers!

One other thing Ryan... Can you post a picture of your windvane setup?  Am interested to see how it was done.  Cheers!

Thank you so much Amity!  I found some teak doors off a Tartan, and was hopeful I could perhaps make them fit.  They were too small however.  Thanks again for the measuring!

  Are your doors missing?  Reason I had the sizes is that I have my doors home in the shop.  Basically they are just flat, unadorned slabs that look awful.  Will be cutting some 1/4" mahogany or teak plywood to form rails & stiles to take the utilitarian curse off them.

  Starting with the 1980 365's, Pearson added some honest-to-God wood in the cabin to replace the Formica-clad bulkheads & doors.  Made a big difference.

  Post some pictures of your boat!  Always nice to see and hear about projects and new ideas.  Cheers!

Later model doors have rounded crowns and look nicer.
I guess you could add trim around 2" wide to improve the looks, with a horizontal rail about 1/3 down is conventional

redoing the interior is a passion of mine, Im in the process of consolidating the most effective most time efficient methods
the image attached came from a sell advertisement which I modified in photoshop to enable me to see what it looks like without the shower
changing the formica is no small task especially if you want a wood interior, as colours and grains have to be selected
the attached image was a white painted interior, I assume just straight over the formica. FWIW Im not exactly over the moon about it
but it would match the galley etc
note the door and the 1/4 round trim is varnished. At the very least it needs more varnished interior, and its easy to dream up strategies for that
the later larger Pearsons had a varnished panel at the cabin roof valance where the portlights are, but a timber rail just below would break up the endless white

Nice pic!  Probably helps a lot to visualize before Sawzall.

[S/V AMITY]

Very true!  Once the Sawzall is plugged in and in hand one is committed to a fair helping of work going forward.  Photoshop modifications, on the other hand, do not leave debris & sawdust.

Serendipity looks nice, always had a thing for Grand Banks 32 myself.
I saw an SV Jouney was sold over recently out of NSW

Amity: I am one of those ppl who has to see something to get a feel for what makes me uncomfortable
and see something for which I think has a good feel to it, then work out the difference

That's where we sold her.....
Would love to read where you saw that!   Please send us the URL?

SV Journey: a guy offered me $20,000 for Zaya, I was polite ....
I had his email so I just sent him this link

[SVJourney]

Okay, yeah, that was our listing.  It sold in less than 2 weeks, if you really want to rub it into the guy who offered you $20k.  Sold in Jan 2017.  Can't believe it was 3 years ago already.

One of 3 365's in OZ.  That we know of anyways...

[Sandy]

SV Journey: 2 weeks is pretty quick, and good money too.
there was another 365 over in Pt Lincoln around the time I bought Zaya, its was listed as $80k I think, so perhaps thats the other.

[SVJourney]

WOw, okay, PT Lincoln?  LOL, does anyone actually live there?
One was the one we sold.
Two was Dorasmus just above Gold Coast.  We met him, solid bloke, Legend to us!
Three was you
So four... why would anyone want a 365 in Pt Lincoln?
