I recently finished a couple of projects that were needed; since my P323 doesn't have a sea berth, I decided to add a lee cloth to the Port side settee berth but while doing so also encorporated a galley safety bar. The aft lee cloth padeye bolt provided for the fwd safety bar stantion base upper mounting screw (integral design). I wanted something simple and yet non-intrusive, which this design hit the mark!. The materials are easily accessible and found on-line, and are all 316 SS paying particular attention to strength specifications of the padeye bolts (400 lbs). The safety bar is composed of 1" SS rail and I drilled and tapped (1/4x20) the outer set screw hole into the railing tube to anchor the padeye bollts to the fitting and tube locking it all together. It works nicely and is substantial, and I was able to get a nice finished look. The lee cloth was pretty straight forward after "measuring thrice drill once" to install the padeye bolts.; also added were a second set of barrel bolts for the sliding settee berth board to ensure the weight of the lee cloth under load will give extra security with the supporting board. Lastly, I added 3 equally spaced tie rings to the lee cloth to allow extra holding by tying cloth to salon grab rail (it works nicely) and gives me the much needed features.
