Getting more of the creature comforts to have when cruising with Children

The first of the creature comforts to have when cruising with young children who wish to watch TV or play a video game.



Always needed when cruising a place to cook dinner or a light snack 


Looking more homely just got to get the solar panel fitted on the cabin roof and the head lining panels can go back up and it will begetting there


The tables and steps and carpet now back in position to check all as as it should be

The fore cabin infill to make the front berths into a double berth and also so it can be used as a cockpit table as well


The main cabin table now with a fresh coat of varnish to  make it look like the rest of the newly varnished wood work in the cabin 


The cabin step back in position


The floor carpet relaid in the cabin to show the new blue hull and berth carpets and make it look like it should be all blue carpeted  


Hardy 25 refit coming along and lots of Varnishing still to do

The cockpit boards get set out ready to make a new set to match the rest of the cockpit panelling 


The forward end of the cabin now finished off apart from putting back the cushions and back rests on the shelves 


The two cockpit locker panels now all varnished ready for their final coat of satin varnish to go on in the last week before it goes back to its owner



The cockpit bulkheads have been rubbed down and given several coats of varnish to bring them back to life as best as they can be and they have come up well
