Don't dismiss the idea so lightly Clive. If you think about it, it's a perfect solution for a boat. You could even multitask and shower whilst ploddying :lol:

Certainly gives a new meaning to 'wet room' :o

Better post some more Clive to move us away from this line of thought :naughty:

Hi Clive

how long do you think it will take to get the topside built?

A lot longer than the hull !
reasons being although we have a extra boatbuilder (plus a Boatbuilder advert going in the paper on Thursday) some of the team are fixing holes under the toilets on ex French boats :naughty:
also the Superstructure is a whole lot more complicated than the hull in both terms of constructing it and sanding it down.

This is how things looked last night...

This is how things looked at the end of play today, we are upto frame 11, we had to cut a bit of the trolley out before putting frame 12 up as it incorporates the step from the cockpit to the rear end.
you can see the start of the canopy runnes in the four frames towards the middle and the rear door aperture next to the engine hatch at the rear.

The preparations to start putting the frames up takes plenty of time to get right but they should fly up now although every one needs to be double checked otherwise the canopy may get stuck halfway which would mean major problems.

That seems to have progressed quickly Clive. It's good to see the finished shape of the boat starting to be hinted at :clap

this Lunchtime!
some of these frames are very heavy as we decided to make them solid unlike the hull which were hollowed out.
some of the bigger ones contained nearly 3 sheets of 18mm MDF!

Last few until Monday as I have to go to France on a boat hunt :naughty:

she is looking like a boat now :)
you can see the full canopy runners, wheelhouse seating, decks and the shape of the roof really well,

the frames should all be up and the skin starting to go on by the end of the week.

Hi Clive, whereabouts in France did you go to, and did you travel down by car, or did you fly?. Regards..................Neil.
Good manners and politeness cost nothing, but can buy a lot of respect, grattitude, and appreciation, so why raise hell, when it`s better to raise a smile?.

Hi Neil,
we flew to Lyon and drove to Chattel Censoir then Gray, it was freezing but we had a good time dispite the exchange rate.
We looked at 6 boats as two of the others were too far away and another was down a 2 hr drive on a snow covered road so we did not bother.
