You’re in a maze of twisty little passages, all different.

The aft cabins are really fun places to work. There is basically not a straight surface anywhere. The frames and hull curvature changes rather a lot in quite small distances. And there are lots of corners and boxes protruding into the cabin from all sides, because of various installations around them. So it wasn’t easy, but now the port cabin is done and I am quite pleased with the result.

(Again, this image is a stitch of 3 different photos, so some details are a bit screwed…)

As you can see, the berths are a mix between a racer’s sea berth and a traditional comfortable cruiser bed. They are wide and have nice cushions, but they are also adjustable to the yachts heel angle. A thin cushion against the wall will be added later as well.

I use a 3:1 dinghy sheeting system for the adjustment, so you can even adjust the angle from the top berth without getting out of it. Well… maybe not if there are two very heavy guys sleeping. But I can do it myself when I’m in the bed, anyway!

(Too?) Crazy Dressing Room Mirror

Here’s the answer to last post’s quiz: Right as you descend from the deck-house, just outside the main bathroom, I have placed a wall of small storage compartments where each crew member will have his/her own. For gloves, glasses and other small items you usually find floating around the boat.

I wanted a mirror on top of this shelf where crew members could check out their gear, and the more vain can check out their looks. Since I have been looking for some crazy detail to offset the clean space-ship looks of the interior, this mirror became the perfect detail. Love it or hate it ;-) !

(And the drink goes to you Oscar, who was first to say the “mirror” word. But since I don’t know you, you’ll have to show up to get it!)

OK, it’s simple: Guess what part of the boat this is:

Hint to those of you who are new visitors: We are currently working on the interior.

First one to get it right wins a glass of the special “Journeyman Caipirinha” cocktail.

(And the few of you who knew beforehand are not allowed to spoil the fun!!)

Next Milestone: Salon Finished.

Things are moving along nicely. The salon interior has just been finished and work has moved on to the forward bathrooms.

There is comfortable seating space for 9-10 people with this layout. I have also implemented the bar, as you can see in the upper right corner.

(This is an extreme wide angle shot, so the dimensions look a bit distorted…)

The bar has been equipped with the cargo securing system that I will put in throughout the boat: Very strong elastic ribbons, closed by adjustable slip locks.

New Year. New Space Shuttle.

Quite a few people have independently commented on how the interior style I have chosen reminds them of pictures from the Space Shuttle or ISS. I quite like this association, so we have started to use it purposely. This image from the just finished aft bathroom is a good example:

The tubes are the starboard side freshwater fill and breather. They pass through the ballast tank before going into the bilge. The ballast tank top becomes a shelf for the bathroom.
