Born of the boat II.

I've just arrived from the visit of the Dalpol boatyard to check the status of our boat. I was pretty surprised by the size of the factory. I was expecting something big, but it seems legit as their production is around 80 boats per year.

I was looking around our boat for more than an hour taking pictures as much as I can. Found some issues with hardware mounting, but they make sure it will be fixed. Anyway the boat should be finished by the end of this month as it seems they were just finishing the interior woodwork.
Great Christmas present, isn't it?

Here are just some of the picked photos from the huge collection I made. I will make the rest of the gallery online later. Click on the picture to walk through the gallery in higher resolution.
