> Greetings! I am soon to address the installation of a Dickinson Newport
> Diesel heater on starboard bulkhead aboard Rocinante, #69. In the interest
> of being able to place heater as low as possible to reduce height of
> Charlie Noble topside and still achieve adequate chimney height for draft,
> I am considering eliminating bench/bunk altogether with an eye towards
> creating small settee in that space instead. I currently have no table to
> sit at and the present ?Chart Table? and light is above my refrigerator
> (former icebox) and it is not at all satisfactory. I spend more time at a
> table than I do entertaining so I do not object to the loss of a bunk.
> Hopefully I would be able to sit at table with view of fireplace. Could
> still possibly create leaf to extend port bunk . Coud also potentially
> steal enough room forward of present galley to allow for proper oven.
>         So. Anyone done this? If so, pics? Any input from anyone with
> Newport installs or this kind of conversion, or even just thoughts on the
> wisdom of this would be very welcome. Good design is not easy, and I would
