Progress Report #10 | March 2023

Introduction

There is a decent pace going now and one can see the various changes and progression of the project.

The metal primer on the Hull is at a good stage and the filling and primer in the roof area/roll bar are impressive.

Metal works and frame installation are constant throughout the Engine room, mooring stations and beach club predominantly. 

Pipe work, insulation works, sound dampening and hot works are ongoing. There is an increased intensity in the wiring programme specifically in the Engine room.

We pay great attention to the insulation work as it will be a major factor in the Owner’s enjoyment going forward and I report it is being done correctly and with precision.

Part 2 of the welding deflection tests on the hull was carried out by San Lorenzo and witnessed by Harry Noonan, Arrow PM.

It is always nice to see the base floor going in. It is a sign of progress indeed.
