  • Progress as of  half February 2003,

    Panted
    bunkers finished,
    nice bronze .... (don't know name) on the deck,
    floor finished

Very professional construction:  1" Prop. shaft, heavy thrust block and homokinet (don't know the English word for it, (it is a much better solution than a cardan construction which will never be found on professional marine installations for reasons I don't know yet)).
The homokinet can make an angle of two times 7 degrees meaning that you can still mount you engine 'horizontal' and let you propeller shaft make an angle of about 14 degrees.

Rudder and floors ready
Hull, after paint job, aug. 2004
