Cladding 95% complete

We really think that we are coming to the end of the oak cladding. About 95% complete. Only a small section on the bow bulkhead and part of this is fireboard.

We have also constructed a fixed lounge seat/birth. We were going to have a sofa bed but this meant no storage and a sofa bed takes up a lot of space. The fixed seating has a load of storage space inside and also extends into the bow area. This was Dawn's idea. A really great idea as it enables good access into the bow area and also gives access to the water tank outlet hose. Always good so that you can keep a check on the jubilee clips within.

Some pics of our new seat:

The seat is 6 feet long.

New AC and dc sockets wired in.

We intend to use oak cladding on the seat.

With the cladding almost complete, our attention will soon shift to the plumbing.
