Here are some photos of the top-side during construction. The cabin isn't going to be particularly well appointed, but then it's not intended to be anything more than a way to get out of the weather and provide a bit more confidence in some of the heavier seas. There might be the occasional overnighter if Ron goes on a fishing trip with the 'boys' or if we get caught out in a storm or break down.

Days 53 and 54 ( Jun 11, 2006): The cabin roof and cockpit walls are in. Huge progress in relation to the actual labour :)
