I imagine it would go well with the Hákarl topping from Iceland!

This is the bones of the main switchboard panel. We are using DIN mounted circuit breakers. These are easily replaced if they become defective, as a number of companies make identical products. They have higher performance specifications (such as interrupt capacity) than the typical pleasure boat circuit breaker panels.

The same idea was used on the original Bestevaer 2 and these has also been used in the latest Dashew FPB range.

This is more "industrial" looking than the typical marine circuit breaker panel, but can still be finished attractively when all the trim is installed. In our case they will be installed in a wooden cupboard recessed into the wall, which will back directly into the technical space.

This is an alternative to the more common Blueseas panel that is worth considering, especially if you are rewiring an existing boat and replacing the switch panel.

But Noelex, they ain't Marine Quality!!! Surely they will cause you to sink or worse...

But I like 'em.

Nice Nolex, takes a bit more space, but so much easier to work on [emoji106]

To say nothing of the associated wiring ducts, it will look good and be tidy!!!

As with several Bestevaers, our boat has some reinforcement, especially in the bow area. The plating is thicker and the framing has been beefed up.

The owner of KM has just returned from a passage on a 55 foot version of our boat. These spectacular images have just been posted on KM's Facebook page and show the conditions the Bestevaers are capable of cruising in.

Our interior is nearing completion. Yesterday, just before KM broke up for three weeks of summer holidays, the protective covers were removed and the boat cleaned out, revealing the interior properly for the first time since Open Day in April.

Navy leather upholstery and bedding will change the appearance further as all the horizontal white HPL will disappear, as will the addition of the dining table, Reflex heater, oven and all the stainless steel hand holds, but for now this gives a good impression of what will shortly be our new living space.

This is the view from the front of the galley/salon looking back towards the pilot house. The table will go in the empty space on the right:

Where are the power sockets?

Out of sight just below bench height on the starboard side. There is a storage "well" about 15 cm deep both fore and aft of the oven and there are double sockets on each side.

This view down shows the gap where the well is a little better:

The boat looks amazing! Love the wood choice.... Modern and very Dutch!

Is the kick panel at the bottom stair a different wood? Maybe just light, but looks more finished Mahogany.

No, it is all Bubinga. The grain varies tremendously though. In addition that portion has been oiled, so the colour variation makes it stand out.
