Factory visit 3

19th February 2016

The platform looks really good, as does the canopy

Today was our last chance to see the boat at the factory and to check it over before delivery to the River Thames. The excellent team at the factory have just about finished everything they need to do and next week Tingdene will collect it and get the engine fitted down at the marina.

First impression when we saw our boat today was simply wow! It looks magnificent with the canopy fitted, soft furnishings in place and lots of finishing touches. The curtains were being fitted when we arrived and the bathroom door needs to be hung but apart from these and some minor snags it's done.

We went for a navy and grey colour scheme, the Jeckells canopy matches the cockpit cushions really well.

Transom access will make life so much easier 

We are very pleased with the cockpit colour scheme

The fabric is Silvertex vinyl, very hardwearing

I never set up the cockpit cushions for a photo (there is an infill panel across the transom door) so this will have to wait until next weekend.  Now Viking have a few days to finish off the odds and sods, then Tingdene collect the boat and fit the engine. With a bit of luck we shall be on board next Saturday 27th!
