Try and think of ways you can save money on your fitting out programme.   For instance, the mould from your fibreglass hull should supply some timber that can be reused for framing up interior joinery.   If you plan ahead, you can use certain size timbers for the mould and setting up that can be either re sawn or used as they are for another purpose at a later stage.

   Tongue and groove flooring can be a very inexpensive and rewarding fitting out timber.   Second hand timber can also be very useful.  In my own early days of boatbuilding, we used to build all the fibreglass male moulds out of reclaimed house timber.   Some recycled timber is better quality than you could possibly find as new stock in your local timber yard today.

    For the construction of the saloon table, we would recommend the use of two sets of stainless steel or aluminium tubes sized so one fits inside the other.   The larger tube has a thumb screw fitted to position the height of the table as required.   Alternatively the table can be hung from a bulkhead leaving the sole space clear.   With a reasonable amount of planning, a table of this type can yield as much useful space as a fixed table and, possibly, double as a cockpit table.
