Why do Vee Berths Exist?

[Hudson Force]

My nephew's V-berth on his Catalina 22 has little in common with the V-berth on my Morgan 41. My V-berth narrows from nine feet wide to almost thee feet wide with a six and one half foot length. I've never been tossed about in my V-berth; in fact, it's very comfortable as an offshore berth because I can sleep full length at any compass point.

My times in a V-berth were mixed. Some serious bouncing at times.

But then we were doing more than 3.5 knots.















PS - The OI is really a great boat.
