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…

Deckhouse done. Calls for small celebration.
Last week we finished the deck-house interior. As I have written earlier, it has become very clear that the deck-house needs a table solution. So I now have two tables on pivoting removable stands. There is nothing in the way when the tables are not there, and room enough to seat the full 8 person…

Will I regret the USB outlet panel?
So, in the spirit of “The list of things to do tends to fill the available time” I felt compelled to do a nice walnut outlet panel for the onboard computer USB outlets. Plus a standard 12V outlet. Maybe I will regret doing things like this in 4 months time when we have a total…

Posing for Christmas
I tried to get some pictures to make a Christmas postcard tonight, but it was cloudy so they didn’t come out perfect. Maybe day after tomorrow we will get a clear evening of the forecast is correct. Anyways, it’s cold. Which makes progress a bit slow. Plus we are only two people working on the…

Hunting for Condensation
One of the good things with working on the boat during winter is that all the cold weather problems in the hull become apparent. Condensation for example. All the windows and hatches are double glassed, but the hatches have aluminum frames that get really cold: This is bad of course. One solution is to glue…

The list of things to do tends to fill the available time
I just recalled a time many years ago when I sailed the Caribbean 1500 race together with Steve Dashew and his Beowulf monster. The start of the race was delayed due to a lingering hurricane that was sitting right on the course and didn’t want to die. So we were hanging around the marina in…

Salon taking shape.
Yesterday all the cushion sizes were tried out, so those should be ready in time for launch. The sofas will get grey cushions in a super durable fabric which still feels quite like ordinary canvas. I’ll write more about that when they are delivered in a few days. In the picture below Sven is working…

Hysteric amounts of WIP
Being busy is about the lamest excuse for not blogging, I know that. But I’ve been doing 16-19 hour working days the last 10 days, so I had to get the tempo down a bit before I could find the peace to write here. It is somewhat exhausting trying to lead a team of 7…

Sailboat feeling?
OK, so those of you who have been following the building process for some time maybe are thinking there is soooo much details and technical stuff, is this a sailing yacht or a machine? Well, I have always been clear about the fact that the Journeyman will put performance and functionality before luxury. But still,…

Bringing serviceability to yacht interior design
The first interior bulkhead wall is up. Unfortunately you can’t see the nice woodwork since it won’t be mounted until the last moment. But you can see the system we are using to make it possible to dismantle the interior for repairs or changes. Most modern yacht are put together using glue, because this makes…
