Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure
-
@louisbosco had to laugh at that one—- close but no cigar Louis
-
-
@Giles how exciting is that? !!
-
Beautiful
-
That's awesome! Two things I noticed: The incredible amount of room in the compartment including the head room and I like the camera mounted so you can keep an eye on the area when you're underway. That's pretty smart!!

Headroom is brilliant, I have to dip my head a tad, but really just a tad....
The camera is a cock-up. I ordered it, then decided that I would prefer an Infra Red camera in there, so deleted it from the spec, with a view to retrofitting an IR. Obviously, a lost-in-translation moment, I'm hoping they say, "oh fuck it, you may as well keep it"........:hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:

@ROman This is going to be EPIC
-
first start up video soon?
-
@Giles clean AND quiet. But not for long. What a beauty!

I'd have thought you'd go for a flying bridge
-
We gave it serious consideration.
For -
- It means we can drive from upstairs
- We could have the life raft up there without spoiling her looks
Against -
- It's a fucker to keep clean
- It restricts rear-view visibility from the helm
- The rear deck is compromised by having the stairs going up top
- It is probably too hot in the Med to use it in the summer
- It is hardly ever nice enough to use it in the UK
- It costs a shit load more (just doubling up the instruments and controls is eye-wateringly expensive)
- We think the hard-top is a lot prettier
-
Looks more seaworthy without
