INTRODUCTION

Attached is a series of images relating to the works in progress on the Vessel.

Visits were carried out by Arrow at Mangusta facility: Harry Noonan Project Manager. This report leans heavily towards joinery and woodwork as that is a prime objective at this stage.

• The Wiring programme is  ongoing and making progress aft , Wiring is at 100% forward VIP.

• Fairing work on the exterior is ongoing and the flybridge is now accessible.

• Teak caulking and initial sanding has commenced forward area of bridge.

• Teak has been freshly laid on the fly bridge this week.

• Plumbing pipework is continuous at this stage and is now at around 50 % in lower deck area.

• Main Engine pre-alignment works are ongoing and the stainless exhaust piping is being calibrated .

• Boss cabin and guest cabins have progress in joinery items and one can clearly see the finished door frames in places.

• We had a milestone this week regarding carpentry and I had a visit to the workshop to see finishing items including furniture for the entire crew mess and guest bathrooms.

• I am confident that the finish will be excellent. My previous experience of Mangusta leads to have a culture of very decent woodwork from their team. It has been the same team for over twenty years.
