Finishing Touches
We had contracted to have an Iroco wheelhouse put in as part of the sail-away package. We didn't want to mix woods to any great extent so we stuck with Iroco for panelling, the floor, doors, window frames, stairs, trim, and beams for the ceiling. The only area in which we used panelling extensively was the wheelhouse, which is well lit and so doesn't give a dark impression. Iroco is a good wood for this as even when applied in large doses it still looks light and fresh compared to the more expensive mahogany.
All of the skilled trades people that worked on the boat were marvelous. Good folks to work with and a great end result. We think the pictures of their work speak for the success of our finishing program.
