F33 Sport - Water Magic

I guess it’s about time I started a thread and posted a few picture of her as she is currently and the work we’ve started to do to update the interior.

So here she is in her various guises and configurations, she’s not exactly standard as a previous owner took a chainsaw to the roof

As you’ll probably remember, I’ve fitted a new fridge under the dinette seating [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

And a new cooker in the galley

I should say that Sheridan Marine often maligned for their prices did me a cracking deal on these two items.

I searched long and hard online to find them cheaper, but couldn’t 

The fridge was special order, as they don’t stock it

Cockpit seating is next to be fitted. 

The custom made seats arrived yesterday and the pedestals today

Lovely job. That's heading into the super yacht bracket with those seats 

The downside of a centre cockpit is that there’s no bench seat to relax on at the end of the day, so two big comfy armchairs it is

Superb!!! Fridge is genius. Those seats!!! I bet you sit there like Jean Luc saying Make it so to Mrs pending!  It is a stunning boat. Pleased for you

I’ll have to save that one for future use...better still, next time I see Patrick Stewart in the pub, I’ll get him to record it on my phone (he frequents one of my lunchtime haunts) 

Still lots to do, but getting there

He has a place near my boss in Gargrave Yorkshire too. Up there he says "Na then, mek it so numba wun"

Whereas his Oxfordshire location is proper bumpkin territory

Those seats have a hint of F1 I'm sure !!

Noooooo, F1 seats have no padding at all, it’s just a carbon fibre shell moulded to the shape of the driver.

If you’re interested, we sit the driver in the car with no seat, but on the outside of a large plastic bag. When he’s in the correct position (yes there’s a regulation for that) and feels comfortable, we fill the bag with expanding foam (yes, the same stuff used for Freeman deck repairs). When its set, we cut him out and digitally scan the impression in the foam. We create a mould and make that shape in carbon fibre, this makes the seat. His race suit is the only padding, but as he’s pulled into the seat bucket with a 5 point harness, there’s no movement.

The seat also has to be removable from the car with the driver strapped into it as is serves as a backboard in the event of injury

Who knew!!! Exactly same as my moggy

Hi Prof.... seeing your nice pic in one of our favourite moorings, I found this one of Drumbeat in the same spot.
All the best...

It is a lovely spot  

Although the last time we were there, this happened   
Which caused major excitement, lots of shouting from the bank, sirens, fire and rescue, police etc

Fantastic! 
How is the deck made? I am planning something similar for 'Emily'.

The decks are 20mm marine ply that have been covered in Tek-Dek by the previous owner

Looking fabulous

The cockpit vinyls need replacing, but that’s a project for a bit further down the road or should I say river

This could very well be the ultimate angular Freeman .

Out for winter
