Boat in build pics (Squadron 78)

[jfm]

Fab - On my way to Bonifacio NOW!!! Just need to calculate how big a bowser I need to tow across Biscay to do it without a stop.

I think Jack's a pretty cool writer too.

Put the Aquastar on a truck BJB and it will be there ready for a cruise the weekend after next. £5k all in. You know it makes sense!

Can you explain, what are scatter cushions FOR?

Ooer Mark, you've asked about my specialist subject there mate. Scatter cushions are a critically important part of the boat. It just wouldn't be the same without them. They make the sofas more comfortable of course just like in a house, but I agree their practical use ends there. However, they allow you to change the look every couple of days. The day after the dinner table/sofa was photographed with the cerise/pink, it was changed to aquamarine blue and turquoise stuff, giving a totally new look. Plain sofas with no cushions look too dull, esp on the flybr of this boat which has acres of sunbrella cloth. The cushions add colour, and you can change the colour every couple of days. They also make the beds look nicer. I have 60 cushion fillings on the boat in constant use and 90 cushion covers (to allow the look to be changed). It's essential stuff Mark!

JFM, have you been talking to my wife?

John,

Do you change your handbag every time you change the cushions.

You must be co-ordinated at all times.

PS Saw the boat at LIBS, it looked cracking.

And here I was, thinking to have already seen an OTT arrangement on your previous 58...

they sure do !
these pics look beautifull and bright,
the cushions are the finishing touch that make them even more collorfull and wonderfull.

I will copy this post, and paste it on the first page of my new document:
"nice anchorages and interesting places for visiting in SOF area"

by the way,
what are the black dots above the bow on your new avatar ?
can't be the anker ball.

They are perhaps yesterdays scatter cushion covers hanging out to dry....

[MapisM]

Naah, not with the luxury of a drying machine onboard...!
More likely to be some of the rocks in Lavezzi, as per previous pics.

Terrific, I love that statement, I can see John having a good laugh at that one.
