COMPLETED PROJECTS

As you enter Comet from the bow, there are two oak steps welcoming you to an airy living space which is 4 meters long. On your right there is a new Morso Squirrel stove with Spanish slate surround. From the stove, lacquered copper pipework runs along the living room wall to feed one of the heating systems. Throughout the craft pine floorboards, run lengthways, are adjoined using a teak coloured polyurethane, have fixings plugged with oak and are protected with Osmo top oil for a natural finish. Pipe work concealed beneath is connected to a combination boiler providing thermostatically controlled underfloor heating. Looking up there is a houdini hatch in the ceiling providing extra ventilation and light.

At the end of the living space we see the kitchen. On this side of the units there is access to the twin tub washing machine

and a handy switch for the inverter. Sign written switch labels in gold are a recurring feature on board. As you enter the kitchen, you will pass the Pioneer DAB stereo which operates through 4 ceiling mounted speakers, 2 in the living room and 2 in the bedroom. The kitchen is a bespoke design, handcrafted to include a walnut worktop with slate splash back, gold plated tap, refrigerator, full-size hob, oven with grill and mini Belfast sink. There are 4 cupboards with shelving, 4 dovetailed drawers and the all important wine rack. In the corner of the kitchen behind two further shelves lives the combination boiler, controls are accessible through a small door. Opposite the worktop in the kitchen is a full height side hatch. Upon leaving the kitchen you will pass the programmable thermostat for the underfloor heating.

Entering the walkthrough bathroom, the mood changes. The walls have been painted in sumptuous plum eggshell, which has an exciting effect on the senses. The basin cabinet comprises a small Belfast sink, reclaimed antique brass taps which have been surface mounted and a waney edge oak worktop. The bathroom cabinet has beveled edge mirrors and plenty of shelving and a switched vanity light above. There are two oak shelves with copper and brass fiddle rails above the WC. Adjacent to the basin is the wonderful composting WC. The separator is made using recycled plastic and has been mounted in oak boards. Inside the WC there are two containers, for you know what, and a switched extractor fan. Copper pipe makes up the towel radiator which has been hand crafted especially for this space. Unusually large for a boat, the shower enclosure measures 1000x700mm and boasts slate tiles, Bristan gold plated thermostatic shower valve, stone resin shower tray with concealed waste and a bespoke 8mm shower door decorated using gold plated door furniture. Waste water is removed via a Whale Gulper pump. The bathroom has 2 portholes and is made private by two adjoining doors.

Continuing through Comet entering the bedroom, you will notice the colour, trim and wall construction material changes again. The smooth Palmer Grey walls interspersed with log-lap has an instant settling effect. To your right there is a desk area with opening lid to reveal a wide mirror and laptop computer storage. There is an LED lamp, a double socket and a USB charger point. Next to the desk, there is a wardrobe with clothes rail, a high level shelf and 2 large dovetail drawers below. Beyond this is the double bed which lifts up from the side to reveal an LED lit large capacity storage area. Above the bed is another USB charge point, an LED lamp and an oak shelf. Attached to the side of the bed is another bespoke pipe radiator. At the end of the bed are the engine housing, the Control cupboard and a short staircase bringing us to the aft doors and onto the rear deck of Comet. Engine covers and staircase are all easily demountable for ease of access to the engine bay.

The Hull

​

​

Being a G&J Reeves hull, Comet has been constructed to the traditional thicknesses. 10/6/4. She had a full out of water survey in November 2016 and she was found to be in fantastic condition. Survey available to view on request.

She has had a complete external paint job, new anodes fitted and been blacked in November 2016.

A subsequent BSS was obtained in December 2016.
