Last Friday we turned the mould and plug over - very carefully! Once we had got the whole thing in the air (thanks to Paul Mcarthy of Wolf Rock for the use of his fork lift truck) we fitted the turning legs complete with the front brakes from a motorbike (thanks Kitten!), with the help of the forklift and doing it stage by stage the whole thing was turned over with no drama at all - it's great when a plan comes together!

Looks great Cookee can't wait to see how the deck turns out
Here's a cockpit for either inspiration or horror depending on your views,
one things for sure you may forget your on a boat and start believing your Captain Kirk of the Enterprise, that is until you hit a channel marker then you'll wish you also had shields like the Enterprise

That dash looks like it belongs on a cheap kids toy. Vulgar.

Even I think that's hideous! I don't think we'll have enough stuff to wire all those gauges up to!

Now now tut tut guys, brash nasty trashy is no way to call our American cousins on the other side of that big pond especially since I read in the news yesterday they have 5133 Nuclear missiles for those who disagree with them
I believe some magazines that tested this boat called it understated 
hate to think what they would call ours ... probably sparse

I have made a GIF of the process of turning the mould and plug over - it's at http://files.me.com/cookee/qt7voh although it is a large file!

Here are some photos showing the start of the foredeck - we have assembled the cockpit roof as well now so you can start to see the shape in real life now - it's going to look amazing!
