such an interesting boat from that time and great recount of the sinking of Tapio's previous boat

Plenty of good ideas there. All that insulation in the ceiling and against the hull would be a right pain when you get a water leak. Thank goodness it's generally not necessary in Australia.
By no means unique to that boat but I can't get over the stupidity of including vanished timber trims in shower areas. I know it doesn't look nautical but give me an exclusively fiberglass liner in a toilet /shower area any day with next to no joins.

How do you feel about tiled splashbacks in multihulls LOL

Don't laugh too hard! I did this in my head. But it's not what it seems - self-adhesive panels of subway 'tiles' made from PVC I think. Not a seamless insert, but better than painting. 4yrs on - no sign of leaks

At 9:20 I could not help noticing the MONSTER behind them.
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
