Today we went to see our boat! Even having seen it, and put our hands on it, we can't quite believe it's ours. We think the builders have done a fantastic job so far. It's objectively beautiful (and we can say that because we haven't done it!).
At the front, we've put the water tank in the bow locker where the gas would normally go, so we've been able to drop the front deck to give almost full headroom under the cratch, and a nice big front door. The shape of the gunwale around the deck is really elegant, which is lucky, since it is taken from a rough line on a plan that was never
really meant to be the final design.
At the back, we decided to drop the gas lockers into the deck to make them more convenient heights to sit on, and we're really pleased with the way that the builder has done these.
Because of the gas lockers, you won't be able to open the doors all the way back so they've given us a nice wide door. They're going to sink the first step into the deck, down to the level of the base of the gas lockers, which, combined with a nice long hatch, should make getting in much less of a squeeze than it would otherwise be.
