Is this a retrospective view of the build because the amount of work done between posts is huge and indicative of either several people or a significant period between photos and posts

He built it in secret, and now it’s ready for launch he has posted this incredible saga which covers several years ??

This man has some serious skills. Hopefully he will continue to bring class to this shabby establishment.
See this @Mr Googler ! No arts and crafts nor paper mache and vinyl wrap anywhere to be seen!!
Berthed in the Welsh Med did I hear someone say? Make for one helluva party boat at 5mm thick steel plate. Them raggies at anchor have no chance. Not like Seacocks Sealine which is barely thicker than the layer of polish on it.

The “mid cabin”
Sandwiched between the forward cabin and the interior helm. It’s a pretty tight space which was aimed at housing a couple of grandchildren from time to time! The space has two single bunks, one above the other. The top one is a “pipe bed” so can be removed if required so as to provide a single berth cabin with better headroom etc. The cabin has a hanging locker and storage cupboards beneath the lower berth with sliding doors. The cabin has a heater matrix, 240v socket and USB socket as per the forward cabin.

Got to lovethat fit and finish. Top class cabinetry work too. I trust she has a sizeable funbox and wine cellar? So many boat manufacturers skimp on these essentials.

Aft cabin!
The aft cabin has a full size double berth with all round access. You’ll see from the photos that the bed structure, together with a side boxing, had to house the steering gear. Also located in the side boxing is a heater matrix and the space beneath the bed is for the main house battery (could have done with being a bit bigger to be honest!) The side boxing now has a seat cushion on it to finish it off. in terms of other cabinetry within the cabin - is a small bedside cupboard, a dressing table and a double hanging locker with drawer beneath. The cabin has a couple of 240v sockets and a USB socket. The pipes that you see coiled up and hanging in the photos were waiting to be routed through the deck into a seat box on the aft deck. That particular seat box is the gas locker and also has a shower mixer in it so that you can have a shower on the swim platform.

Apologies for the orientation of the photos! The forum page just seems to want to put everything on its side and one is even upside down tonight! Tried deleting and reinserting without success!
