Looking for plans for settle/half-dinette

[ChrisR]

We want to build better guest accommodation on our boat, currently an air mattress!

 

I particularly like the idea of a 'settle' (a pullman half-dinette) as briefly described by Graham Booth in his 'Narrowboat Builder's Book'. The concept suits our space, not taking up too much room unless being slept on.

 

Has anyone built anything like this? Comments on experience? Plans and measurements, even?

 

Thanks for any input,

 

Chris

I built a convertable bed/settee in or boat ten years ago and since then have sent photos and sketch drawungs (with dimensions)to a number of people on the Forum. If you PM your email address, I will send you the file as an attachment

Thanks David for the instructions for building an L-shaped dinette, which I'm sure will have some useful points on detail. Anyone else out there got anything suitable for a half-pullman?

We have just built one of these, we have a mid boat fire so we built ours either side of the front doors it makes a great bed and takes up very little room
