And before I even start talking about what's inside the cupboards next to the cruiser stern, I just want to talk about the windows for a minute, because obviously, if you've seen from the outside, this is the least traditional part of this boat.

There are over 30 different foam qualities made in the UK today… so it would be very easy for an unscrupulous company to supply a customer something described as a “good, firm foam”, but was actually just a poor quality foam in a hard firmness… something the customer wouldn’t find out until a few months down the line!
