B63: Elite 18m Mid Pilothouse – Starting to Sparkle

27 JUNE 2023

Firstly, a massive congratulations to Decs and his partner on the recent birth of their first child.

And on top of that, Decs, Lloyd and the team have made an enormous effort on B63. The interior fit-out is very nearly completed, the hull has been top-coated and she has been named…. but I am not allowed to tell you that until she is launched.

Launching is now only a week away.

Final post-cure of the deck and superstructure


Superstructure getting undercoated


Interior cabinetry installation underway


Her deck jewellery starts to take shape – This is the pattern Lloyd made for the bow fairlead


And here is the stainless version, finished and ready for installation


Helm station underway


Cockpit construction


More deck jewellery being test fitted


Love me tender….. sorry… the tender has arrived


That is Mark nicely framed by the saloon drink’s fridge surround… which is nearly ready to be installed

Josh has made the Salon deckhead panels. Once the holes for the lights have been drilled, our upholsterer will finish them off

Prepping for top coating. Her lines are looking very sharp

And finally, the pièce de resistance – when you build a custom boat, you get exactly what you want… even if we have to invent it for you. Nice work Kerry and (FYI, It is an electronically activated footrest… one of two)
