My v-berth-hatch (metal frame with lexan) did the same to me. I built
a frame from 1 by 3's covered with tightly stretched isinglass/clear
polyethylene to fit over the OUTSIDE of my foredeck. The frame is
held down with bungee-cords attached to the toe-rail. This creates an
airspace between the deck and the clear plastic and keeps the ceiling
of my v-berth above condensation temperature. No more drips, no more
sweating – not even one drop. in addition it also keeps the v-berth
warmer and saves on my heating bill (electric).
Try it, you might like it :-)
