With the launch date approaching fast, the final systems are installed and the carpentry work moves forward quickly throughout the yacht. On deck, the stainless steel fittings are being polished ready to be installed and the cockpit takes shape as the bespoke helm console is fabricated.
The forward berth cabinetry is also installed here too. All surfaces are meticulously wrapped to protect them.
Now the fuel, fresh/seawater systems and cabling are in, the team make sure each area is cleaned so all sawdust, fibreglass particles and cable tie tails are removed, leaving the bilges clean and ensuring the bilge pumps do not become clogged with debris.
The deck is now cleaned and prepared and the templates for the Flexiteek deck are checked before it is fitted.
Teak steps are installed on the transom and areas are marked for the stainless steel Kraken electric davits.
The cockpit command centre, Kraken designed, helm console is finished, ready for a tooling mould to be taken.
This shows the skeleton and subframes of the unique Alpha Rudder System™.
