Posted By: Greg Date: 10/20/07 5:53a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: Well, yeah- we have TONS of pics of the inside. And it's way away from the stock (pic) (Charlie Jones, Meridian 25 Tehani, Magnolia Beach, Texas) hold me, Charlie. But it certainly sated my longstanding desire for a peak under the hatch of your beautiful little Meridian. Thanks for the gracious tour. It's even more extraordinary than I'd thought: bright and open while still being warm and welcoming. Incredibly efficient use of the space and yet no lack of amenities. I particularly like that you've left the forward bulkhead open, leaving the v-berth as an extension of the saloon and galley - all of it becoming a compact great room. I also like your creativity in adapting non-marine components. I'd intended to use a steamer pan myself, but I'd been conventional enough to think I'd install a drain. Really - particularly for my own day and night sailing, and very limited coastal cruising - there's no need for the drain, and its associated through hull, when the sink can be hauled out and dumped. The storage and dual-use steps are brilliant as well: almost everything below seems to serve several functions without sacrificing either utility or aesthetic appeal. And the ceilings are both light and warm, which is a tough balance. Are they individual strips or board? And what line did you use for alignment? Now you see: turns out it didn't hold me and I have an almost endless stream of further questions. I'll try to contain myself. Or at least attempt to ration them. Thanks again, to both you and Laura.
