    Thanks, and she floats and moves very nice in the water.

    Hi Frank, congratulations on your successful quick water trial! Well done, you must be very proud. Also, with the top sides now painted, your unusual colour scheme is working well;-)

    I know it is probably far from complete, but I'd be very interested to see some photos of the interior as it currently is. Did you also take some photos inside? If so, please can you post them here?

    Thanks and regards,

    Adrian


    Thank you Adrian. There is not that much progress inside so far. I made yesterday two photos from the salon and the berth.

    Also to put the boat in the water of course :)

    No video because the GoPro died 10 seconds before the boat touched the water. Typical.

    Now the boat is back in the shed and I will finish the work inside the cabin over the next months. I'm quite happy, this was a satisfying day :)

    Well done, Frank, it's good to see that she floats ;-}

    I am surprised by the companionway. The cabin deck head is raised for more headroom yet the the opening seems small. I would have to crawl out I think. Of course boat yoga is there for all who float but I have come to appreciate my sliding hatch. I expect I am making it worse than it is.

    Thank you Len. When it comes to the companionway there are often concerns about crawling in and out from people visiting the boat. When they then try it, it isn't that uncomfortable for them. Or not more uncomfortable then companionways with dodgers on boats <32ft. I couldn't find a layout yet I can use without hitting my head, walking in an odd way half forward half backward which hasn't a huge dodger or cutout and I investigated hundreds of boats. So I think it is the better compromise (for me) to sit down under the dodger first, and then "slide" inside. Having a unobstructed cabin roof and a protected place to sit in the cockpit are also valuable benefits for me.
    But it is a compromise and an experiment for sure. If it won't work out, I won't have a problem with cutting an opening in the plywood and rebuilding it in 2 years. :)

    I am looking forward to more pictures.

    The downside of the shed is that I have to work on other people's boats 9 to 5, while my own project is barely progressing. :/

    Interesting about that sheer line ...

    What a great colour!  She looks wonderful :-)  Yes, it must be frustrating to be working around your boat rather than on her!

    Frank, are you thinking of calling your boat Barbie by any chance? ;-)

    I don't think so, Barbie has a quite different color:

    Hm, here is another photo from the side. It looks like more kick compared to FanShi.

    The downside of the shed is that I have to work on other people's boats 9 to 5, while my own project is barely progressing. :/
