 Cedar panelling going in to master cabin.  One strip at a time.
 New nav desk on stbd side.  Chart drawer slides out from the side.  3 X house batteries under seat.  Bow thruster auto switch can be seen on side of seat as can the battery switch.
 New galley.  From the left of pic we have a fridge opening. (couple of doors leaning up against that space in this pic) Then the sink with bin under.  The stove is on a gymble and then the island bench between galley and main saloon.
 Photo from main saloon looking aft.  On the left is the side of the nav desk and the ice box tucked in to the aft stbd corner of the area.  On the right is the island bench and there will be an 'L' shaped lounge with a table on a telescopic pedestal that will allow it to make that lounge in to a double bunk.
 15kW electric motor and 4 of the traction batteries under the floor between galley and nav desk.
 Another view of the motor and batteries under the floor aft.
 This shows the other 4 traction batteries below the floor in the main saloon.  Forward of the batteries is the 370li fresh water tank.
 The hydraulic steering helm pump fitted in to the binnacle head.  This has a 60mm thick turned ebony spacer carved with sea creatures around its circumference directly on top of the binnacle and then a large compass on top of that to finish it off.
 Another view of the helm pump.
 Helm station with instruments which include auto pilot control, wind speed and direction, GPS/SONAR, bow thruster joy stick and some switches.
 Helm ram.  Bit of a mess in there at the moment.
 Back to the helm pump but from other side showing the throttle control for the electric motor.
This is the main panel on the back alongside the mizzen mast.  Rudder angle indicator top left.  Sum log top right. (Hull speed)  Then the digital readout of amps and volts for the electric drive battery bank.  Couple of switches above the gen set hours meter. (Not in place) DSE gen set control panel bottom right.
