We signed off the shell drawing whilst at the IWA National, and Peter sent it off to Tim Tyler by the end of August. The plan was to have it delivered this week, but Tim's running late. We're waiting to hear (next Monday, probably) just when he'll be delivering it. More news of this as soon as we get it.
Meantime, we are now on a winter mooring at Marineville Moorings, just over the canal from the yard, so will be able to monitor progress closely.
I'm having trouble converting the shell drawing to a JPEG small enough to post here; please be patient, at least I'll have more time to work on it now.
We've started ordering kit, even so. So far, I've ordered:
- Mac Mini with 2 Gbyte of RAM, 120 Gb hard drive and iWorks preloaded.
- iiyama PLPB1740S-1 17 Hard Glass TFT Monitor from Misco
- cantilever wall bracket for same from Brackets 'R' Usli>
- Vtronix 1.6 m fibreglass VHF antenna and mount from Marine Megastore

Hi, not sure if it's still possible but you used to be able to convert the Mac Mini to run on 12 volts. Nice choice of computer, I'm assuming that you'll use it as the 'centre of your digital life'.
Thanks Tufty. You can get 12 - 15 V DC coverters from Maplins and such, but as we'll need the inverter running to power the monitor, I don't think it's worth it.
Cheers
Bruce
