Hi ! . Am thinking of getting a cp 19. Would be taking some mini cruises: 1-4 days.. Any thoughts on sleeping comfort level for one person, 6 feet high/long. Thanks! Capi.
Sounds like a match made in heaven. The bunks are 6'4" long so you're OK there. Plenty of room to store 4 days of food/supplies and camping stuff.
Comfort wise the bunks are pretty nice for a small boat. Ventilation and keeping cool (or warm) will be the challenge.
As a teaser, here's the interior of Island Time. Cushions are custom, generally the fabric is not as shown.

HI Island Time.. Many thanks for your response and really neat Kodaks of your boat.. I'll continue to search for a 19 ! Regards.. Capi
I agree with Salty19. The 19 would be a great fit for sleeping single. B and I prefer the V berth, but for a single I think the side berths would be quite comfy. I highly recommend adding a couple inches of padding to the original pads as we found them to be too thin. In our V berth we added a 2" thick Memory Foam pad cut to fit the area. Ahhhhhh! Much better! When we go out sailing it is almost always for 1-3 nights at anchor (some 5-6 night stays), so the 19 will certainly work for you.
One modification we made to the V-berth was to extend it 24" on one side. We did this by adding a galley where the starboard berth was. The counter doubles as a place to put a cushion that extends my sleeping area. I am over 6' and found the V-berth just a little too short. Now it works great.
