Our crews have been hitting big milestones on Bayliss 75'! The hull was primed in mid-May, and now matches the cabin and bow deck.
The cockpit on this build will feature a teak aft bulkhead; our last build with this addition was the 64' Parranda. The main bulkhead will be made from one piece of teak: all re-sawn, constructed, and finished on-site. The wood is the process of being selected, and rough construction is scheduled to begin towards the end of June.
Both the cockpit and flybridge will feature a total of seven refrigerator and freezer boxes, a necessary feature for travel to remote fishing destinations; this week, they were installed. The flybridge deck and console is in the process of being glassed, bringing us one step closer towards the installation of the console itself. Both the window line and drip-molding has been sighted and installed - a defining feature of the cabin that brings the exterior image together.
The cabinetry department has made a ton of progress down below - the bunk and night stands have been installed, in both the VIP and Crew staterooms. The pantry and A/V cabinets are in the fabrication process, along with the ever-unique center island galley cabinet.
Our electrical crew is in the midst of wiring the main panel, as well as removing temporary lights that will be replaced with permanent overhead lights. Our mechanical staff is in charge of everything from shower fixture to watermaker installation - all of which are in progress.
We are getting to some exciting phases on this build, so keep following the progress!
