Tim and I met with Andrew on King Malu to plan the new galley.
We'd already made cardboard templates and now wanted to discuss ideas with him. One of the things Tim and I spend a lot of time on is thinking and planning - Tim often says 75% of a job is the planning. Maybe not it time, but in effort.
Before we started ripping it out the work surfaces were small tile. I'm sure they looked spectacular when they were first installed but the grouting between the tiles collected dirt and it didn't really work. The metal fiddle strips around the work surfaces also looked utilitarian and not really very classic.
We had previously been thinking of a stainless steel work surface and sink, and it could look very good. But King Malu is a classic boat with a lot of teak and so we then discussed the idea of a light wood worktop, probably birch or beach which would be in keeping but contrast nicely with the darker teak.
So I photoshopped what it would look like:
This is oiled beach so we decided to go for the lighter still birch. Not decided on the finish yet...
