A shipwrights touch on our Van Conversion.
Two sailors converting a van inspired by the marine industry.
This week it’s a beautiful curved bulkhead grab handle, Najad style! And a feature wall with a really cool Lewmar porthole!
Handcrafting our VW van, focussing on some epic features that will transform our project. It’s these little things that the boatbuilder in Chris enjoys putting the extra effort in for.
