The Southwold team have been busy this last week finishing off the job list prior to the handover and sea trails with the client. The new control panel is looking fabulous now it’s fully wired up and functional. The TV neatly lowers into a special slot in the panelling for protection and stowage when at sea.

Malaika 25th February 2022:

Today we had a visit from the client and did a mock up of how the new control panel will look, its a really useful exercise as you can see if the scale is correct. Plus the mounts for the new radar arch have been fitted.

We were also able to design a bespoke cockpit dropleaf table and demonstrate how it would look to the client.

Malaika 18th February 2022:

Maliaka is a Dutch built Super Van Craft she is a regular visitor to HMS for various mini refits and maintenance and has recently returned for some modifications for the current owner including a new fabricated radar arch and electronics and new helmseats. This was the boys offering up the arch to check for size.
