For the remainder of last week and this week I have been making some corner trim pieces from the laminate used to cover the bulkheads to tidy up the corners where the bulkhead meets the side of the coach roof. I have completed the two forward corners in the saloon and the starboard forward corner in the heads, the port side was done some time ago, and made a start on the two aft corners in the forward cabin. The previous owner had already lined most of the bulkheads when I bought the boat but there was still some final trimming to be carried out particularly on the bulkhead between the heads and the forward cabin as it bridges the single window that runs between the two spaces. My original plan had been to use teak but as I had a large amount of laminate offcuts which would probably been binned at the end of the job I put on my environmental hat on and recycled or upcycled it instead.

The above photographs show the aft corners of the forward cabin and the gaps that need to be covered can be clearly seen. I have cut out the port side trim piece and profiled it so that it makes a good fit where it abuts the window it still needs some final finishing unfortunately the photograph is not too clear because of all the light colours and the sun shining through the window.
