Re: MX New Galley refit Part 2

Thanks for all the positive comments of our galley refit. About 8 months down the track we are extremely happy with the results and the only addition has been a custom made plate stacker that is easy to use and great when sailing on a lean. Everything stays in its place... the pull out wire baskets ...

Re: MX New Galley refit Part 2

That's just... WOW! Well done Kookasnook! Did you do the cabinetry yourself? How did you curve the wire so uniformly? Thanks! No we had our team of three: John from ShipShape boat fitters customed designed it to fit into the side wall of the boat. I spent a lot of time studying a lot of other Mac m...

MX New Galley refit Part 2

All the molded starboard shelving with SS guide wire. We will add some compartments in Stage 3 after we have used it for a while to see what needs fine tuning to suit our needs: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/544916_10202784850446166_639816797_n.jpg New molded starboard compa...

Re: Just added an Electric Anchor Winch to our MX26

Nice job. Looks to me that they cut out the bottom of the anchor locker into the foam flotation under it in the v-berth. The "top" of the v-berth cabin up there holds more of that foam stuff I believe. I assume there must be another water drain now in the new lower section. Looks like a l...

More photos of modified hatch to fit new chain drop down. Note the small O-Ring hatch they installed to give us easy access under the hatch and this modification does not affect or impact on the inside of the boat at all. http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1010281_10201511800140704_212604...
