my project sealine

essentially.

the 390 became the 410 became the F43.

In sealine fashion because they are as near as a boatbuilder gets to a mass producer, the changes don't all happen at once, ie some 410s have the extended flybridge, some don't.

But in essence the major changes were an extended bathing platform - mine is a stub of a thing, and an extended (by about a ft) flybridge overhang. The latter had table and canopy storage in.

The galley became more rounded in the 410, but my square one is trendy now. I also have a small third bunk cabin and an extented ablutions facility forward instead of the dinette. So two of the cabins are en suite with separate shower and loo, we also have a chart table/desk in the saloon, yet the saloon remains really spacious. All in a 40 footer.

Yes, Sealine do seem to be exceptional at packaging.
 
I'm amazed, not just at the standard of work but at the speed in which it's happened. I've just been back over the thread and seen much how much has been done in just three months that included snow, freezing weather and even I think some floods. I did love the casual exchange between yourself and Halycon as if it was perfectly normal to expect the person who made the switch panel all those years ago to chip in and give advice right down to switch types and positions and the link to the replacement. Kind of ironic though (in a good way for you) that the one thing you didn't get done in time was the Coppercoat. :)
 
Congratulations Mark on getting to this stage. Fantastic job, and yes she is properly shiny! Good luck with the continuing jobs over next few months
 
Rob the teak paid a visit today and sent me a pic of WIP.

Will JFM be spending the 25th pining over a missing Christmas card?

I think not!

Been watching this develop from the beginning........impressed I am.

Can't wait for the next stage.:cool:
 
Overall look is fantastic! I was interested as I'm looking to to sections on the Arrowbolt when I eventually get to that stage.

Is it an illusion or is the one section lifting/not stuck? (Top 'row' second panel from left???) Other than that, I think it does a great job. :D
 
Nope my mind isn't made up but I'm favouring the borders as you have done them. If you're doing the steps then that would make me even keener on the borders.

Yep that's part of the logic. The reason these bits are laid on - its too cold to glue them on - is to get the alignment with the fly steps right.

I will also have the cockpit and fly deck done in due course, but this will wait for a while as it's money I don't need to spend yet. The rear had repairs from the paserelle and davits and the steps have damaged get coat, all being covered by the "teak". Cockpit and fly is all good for now.

And to be clear the teak isn't being slapped over a dodgy repair, it's just that matching non skid is virtually impossible. The repairs are all good and fair, but the colour and texture isn't matched at all, no attempt was made to do so.
 
Wow, that's gonna look fantastic! I love the white. I definitely think you should have the borders - it's a principled thing about never exposing the end grain of the teak.

So you're gonna do, in this "phase one", the single step up from platform to cockpit, and all the steps up to the flybridge? That'll look good

Transom window looks fab too. I know you took the windows out but have they been deep refurbished or are they new?
