Interior and Systems Refit: Part 2: Evolution of V-Berth and Salon

What follows are photo's that challenge even the most devout soul!  What a difference a few weeks can make between being 'involved' and 'committed' - I'm no longer the chicken, I'm now the hog.  As if the 'before' condition didn't cause enough digestive turbulence, some photo's are certain not to build spousal morale!  Process is to move from bow to stern.

Michael, my compliments on your restoration. Your effort is appreciated as we are doing the same to a 1975 custom S&S 46, built by Palmer Johnson. Our yacht is also aluminum, and the work has been underway since January, 2010. We've completed exterior refit to the deck and hull, and a carbon rig by Offshore Spars is nearly finished.

The interior was gutted, then insulated with Armaflex AP. We've replaced all wiring, plumbing, electronics, and are now fabricating the original arrangement. A new stove, by Paul E. Luke, was just installed.

Best of luck to you in the Marion-Bermuda.
