This week hull #1 of the Back Cove 30’s went on the assembly line and boat building started in earnest. Now the design work is behind us and proving out shapes and systems installations begins. With the IGU (Internal Glass Unit) in place, it was time to begin installing furniture.
Here the assembly, wood shop and engineering teams met in the hull to dry fit the first galley unit and yes, it fits like a glove. Well OK, there was a little sanding and whittling going on but only as much as the designers had allowed for in their tolerances.
Many prospects ask how the 30 differs from the boat it replaced in the lineup, the Back Cove 29 and here is a perfect example of why the Back Cove 30 is “better”. The 29 had just one drawer in the galley. As you can see (or imagine) here the 30 has from top to bottom left to right: a tip down drawer in front of the sink a drawer below and a cabinet below that. The next opening is where the AC/DC fridge unit goes with a tip down storage space below it. To the right there are two good sized drawers and below that a tip down face or if the boat is rigged with below deck air, that’s where the cold air return will go. In addition to these compartments there will be a second upper galley assembly on the counter top. That’s a lot of storage.
Things will start humming along now so be sure to check back often to see the progress.
