Please describe the project specifications

The client elected to accent the different areas of his boat with various fabrics and vinyls with a blue theme. The client came to us with their fabrics selected, and we added the vinyl selections for the Captains chair and the upholstered ceiling panels. The main salon was to have an articulating backrest so the forward most seat could be forward facing while operating the boat, and then rear facing when docked and entertaining. The "kids room" lower seating would pull out into a larger bed, using the backrests as filler cushions to complete the bed, and the upper pilot berth would pull out as well. The Master stateroom mattress was to hinge for locker access underneath.


What is unique or complex about the project?

All the colors and patterns were a challenge to the eye, but we nailed it, and the client was thrilled with their Fifty Shades of Blue! The stainless steel brackets we designed for the articulating backrest in the main cabin worked smoothly, allowing the backrest to lift and drop down on either side of the seat depending on the days use of the boat. The "Kids room" beds functioned as designed, and the main seating sections there were made as two 2" thick sunpads, so they could be taken up to the bow and serve a second purpose. We included webbing loops on the base of those cushions so they could be lashed down when up on deck. The geometric pattern of the Stateroom fabric was a bit of fun to line up, but we got a great pattern match along the hinge seam. The navy of the Challenger vinyl provided a soft yet durable covering for the Captains chair. We used Marine Town hardware to create the lifting knee roll and the arm rest.
