We h...Hi Allan, thank you for your kind comments!! We have put a lot of thought and research into the design of the layout and along with the boatbuilders devised various different ways of creating space. <br /><br />The marble worktop has turned out stunning as you say and I think somewhere in the past we did talk about having the draining area slightly indented into the marble to aid with the draining of the water. As it is, the marble has been ground so that there is a very slight slope all around the sink area to enable the water to drain back towards the sink and not onto the floor. It is not at all obvious from the photos, so we shall just have to see if it is successful. If not, then a towel on the floor will have to be used!!! <br /><br />We are very excited and tomorrow we go and meet Andy Russell for the signwriting, and following that the boat will be wrapped up until we get back from holiday. Hope to see you around, regards JanetJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307435719034445144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048993064581099615.post-31591611060061044572015-09-03T04:12:24.804-07:002015-09-03T04:12:24.804-07:00Hi Caroline and Martin, we are visiting the boatya...Hi Caroline and Martin, we are visiting the boatyard tomorrow as Andy Russell is starting the artwork on our boat at 7.30am, so we shall have plenty of time to find out a link for the windows with blinds. Will let you know as soon as possible.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307435719034445144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048993064581099615.post-45778099944446014372015-09-02T09:55:53.967-07:002015-09-02T09:55:53.967-07:00You blog is excellent and it gave me a lot of plea...You blog is excellent and it gave me a lot of pleasure to look at the progress of you new boat. I am also just a little envious! There has been a tremendous amount of clever design work incorporated and some fantastic thought given to create such a wonderful combination of features.<br /><br />It is beyond criticism - It's lovely! There is just one very minor point, (I think it is too late to incorporate if considered including), and this is concerning the stunning marble kitchen worktop. (I too have marble worktops)<br /><br />I would have liked to have seen a groove between the stainless sink insert and the front edge, going the whole width, with a drain groove going back into the 2 sink sections<br /><br />I find that this area gets splashed when washing up and the excess water tends to roll off the leading edge and then makes the floor wet. If I was doing my worktops again, I would have this modification done to reduce the tendency to have a wet floor in front of the unit when washing up<br /><br />I'm a bit energetic at this, as I don't like washing up, so usually put a towel on the floor!<br /><br /> - just thought I would mention this in case you find the same. This in no way detracts from your wonderful creation! It is "Dreamingly Mouthwatering"<br /><br />You must be so excited! Happy Cruising and sincere regards, ~Allan~Pengalantybloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337881451926731995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048993064581099615.post-38233337063310933822015-09-02T07:38:55.306-07:002015-09-02T07:38:55.306-07:00hi Janet great blog and photos, can you tell me th...hi Janet great blog and photos, can you tell me the source of your windows with blinds please?Caroline and Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038448009182299379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048993064581099615.post-71788222365648318692015-09-02T05:36:52.684-07:002015-09-02T05:36:52.684-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Caroline and Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038448009182299379noreply@blogger.com
