Hi,
I was on the tour of the green dragon racing yacht in Galway last summer and I noticed the fold up bunks on the boat. They were basically a rectangle formed from tubular carbon fibre with material in the middle to sleep / stow gear on.
I'm building a camper van and thought the bunks would be perfect for a lightweight bunk. Does anyone know where I could buy something like this?
Thanks

These boats and boats like them are made to order, as would the bunks be, so you'll need to find a carbon fibre specialist.
