Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 1:03 pmDoes anyone happen know the distance between the bench backs inside a Daysailer II cockpit? Alternatively, the width of the gunwales? I need to know and am not near my boat. Thanks.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 3:58 pmHi,
Yes, I know that part - but I need the distance inside the cockpit, from the back of the bench on one side to the back of the bench on the other.
Or, if I knew the width of the gunwales, I could subtract twice that from 6' 3".
Thanks.

Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 8:21 pmWhatever you do, don't assume right angles and straight lines on a boat.
Where in the cockpit do you need that measurement - aft, center of forward? Bet the numbers have a good chance of being different. . .
(No access to a DSII, otherwise I'd send you number).

Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2018 2:49 pmI hope this isn't too late for your needs. My DSII project boat is still in my carport as I have been out of town and it way too hot here to work outside anyway. At the aft most point I could measure the highest point on the "seat backs" are 49-3/8" apart. At the point where the main sheet block & cleat are attached to the CB trunk they are 55-7/8" apart. As close to the cabin as I could measure they are 52" apart. Within the limits of me holding a tape measure by myself, of course.

No, not too late at all - that's very helpful. I just want to put a piece of plywood across the benches to raise my homemade boom crutch (and the boat cover that goes over that).
I asked about the measurement because my boat is moored at a lake an hour away. Thanks for you help!

Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2018 5:39 pmOops, I misunderstood the question and measured between the inboard edges of the seats, but since I made the measurements, I might as well immortalize them here:
Aft: 24-1/18 inches
Right behind the mainsheet block on the centerboard trunk: 31 inches
Forward, at the two rounded corners just behind the cuddy bulkhead: 28-1/16 inches.

Re: distance between bench backs
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2018 12:00 pmNo, I think your first answer was what I wanted - the distance between the backs of the benches (what you lean back against). That must be 49 3/8", not 24 1/8".
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
