Re Nick's comment, yep it not as big a saloon as say a P50 but its not far off and you also have the chaise thingy bobs up for'd opposite the helm, bear in mind she is beamier than a P50 so you loose a bit in the length but gain in the width, overall though at a guesstimate about 20% smaller if that and I think looks smaller as your head is closer to the roof than on a fly so appears smaller than is. Certainly we had six of us lounging about in the saloon and all seemed quite dandy to me.
I have to confess I was very anti the galley up on the same level as the saloon and right at the aft of the saloon but having used it it really does work a treat, with both doors slid back to the cockpit serving drinks making sandwiches or lunch it so much more socialable than been stuck down in the black hole of Calcutta, the big slidy doors make the diffence on an nice day with sun awning out it doubles the size of the loafing area.
On the wood front bit of a bold move but really it does look more sedate in the flesh and I really like it, 00 boat's joinery (this one) was supplied by a different contractor as current supplier is swamped with work but from Feb 08 on our existing contractor will be supplying the interiors and I have to admit they are much better at matching the grain, the quality and finish is there at the moment just they haven't got the grain right yet, mind you in their defense there was no interior four weeks ago but she had to be finished in record time for the photo shoot so the brochures coud be designed and printed before the Launch at Cannes on the 12th. .
