| noise in the rear cabin Posted: Thu 26 Nov 09, 21:28 |

| in the rear cabin of my DF 1200 is not possible to sleep when cruising under engine. The noise level is quite high inside the cabin. The engine compartment has been partially soundproof by the factory with absorbing material. However this does not help much. Did anyone of you solved the noise problem in the rear cabin conveniently? |

I don't know if it's possible to solve this problem. Even if you added to the sound-proof material at the aft end of the engine compartment, and closed off all gaps (around steering cables, exhaust, rudder down-haul, wiring) you still would face the issues of prop vibration and an exhaust line that runs beneath the starboard aft berth.
I think the simple answer is to have the off-watch crew sleep in the forward areas, unless you can sail.
