Serenity now in a pen at the Mandurah Offshore Fishing & sailing Club.
Great pen, great club, great location.
The interior has been completely re fitted with a new galley/nav desk layout made possible by the removal of the diesel engine.
Looking forward from the entry hatch.
Looking back the other way.
Galley. Now on the Port side.
Nav desk, Stbd side.
Saloon with new table that pushes down to make that saloon sofa in to a double bed.
Saloon and single bunk Stbd side. Note the document storage box under the nav desk. Re-cycled door panel.
Masters cabin. Bunk pulls out to make double bed.
Forward 'sail locker' has bunk port side and storage for sails and tender outboard motor port side.
Shower and head. Note we've removed the bulkhead between head and shower and installed a water tank dedicated to shower only.
Head from master's cabin side door.
The shower and head share the same floor area. Shower water drains to grey water tank underfloor. Shower curtain reduces water splash.
Back to the galley on the way astern again. Island galley bench has plenty of storage and we've been able to retain most of the original timber including doors, rails and posts.
Note that this bench is where the diesel engine used to be.
From these pic's you'll see that there are still some areas that need to be completed but she is operational and just waiting for the weather to pick up. It's been a huge job getting to this stage but every weekend now we see progress as more tasks are being ticked of as 'completed' rather than 'ongoing'.
This is a picture of the first time I ever laid eyes on Serenity. Almost forgotten, up alongside a coastal trader in a small ship yard 20 nm from Honiara, Guadalcanal, August 2003. An lot of water has gone under her keel these past 12 years.
