The
decoration of the inside of the hull in the cabin is often a difficult
issue, especially on a fiberglass boat. Even after top coating the hull
does not give the nice cozy atmosphere required in a leisure craft.
Some
boat builders opt to use marine grade wallpaper, others use carpet like
materials or soft water repellent cloth. For Web Commander we went for
another solution.
All
visible parts of the hull in the cabin is now covered by mahogany rails,
about 5 cm (2 inches) wide. They are mounted on vertically mounted wooden
rails. High gloss varnish gives that nice finishing touch. It also matches
the ceiling in the cockpit, and together they provide a nice concept that
connects into the classic mahogany Chris Crafts of the 1940-ties and
1950-ties.
