Construction

 

Single piece G.R.P. moulded floor pan from bow to stern forms the basis of interior structure and also provides rigidity to the whole craft.

 

The interior of the craft is divided into three sections.

 

Forward is a large airy cabin. On one side is a double bunk and on the other is a single bunk. A 12V outlet and two little side tables are installed up front.

 

Aft of the forward cabin is the heads compartment, which includes a flushing toilet and shower. A non-skid floor is incorporated into the moulding. The interior of the heads section is treated and then stippled and painted with two coats of velvaglo paint.

 

Aft of the heads compartment is the main saloon which incorporates a table with seats on either side (which converts to a double bunk), sink, 12 volt fridge/freezer, two plate gas hob and separate gas oven and ample storage lockers. The saloon is divided from the cockpit by sliding glass door.

 

The bulkheads,  heads and bunk fronts are manufactured from cherry-faced commercial exterior ply with solid cherry cappings.

 

The galley work surface is a solid surface top made of acrylic and incorporate a acrylic sink moulded to the top and splashbacks on all three sides. All cappings and trim are of solid cherry. All non-visible cleats and grounds of meranti or similar timber.

 

Aluminum handrails are fitted on the coach roof. Only waterproof glues are used and all fastenings are of solid brass, bronze or stainless steel. All joinery is hand crafted to the highest standards.

 

The bunk mattresses are made from firm foam and are covered with acrylic non-rotting removable covers of the highest quality.
