Thanks - missed that..!

hi wow what an undertaking ! good luck with the project . I really wanted to see how you cut the sofa cushions so neatly what did you use ?

[@confidencesailing]

I'm definitely going to do another segment on the cushions. The visible faces were all cut and made to measure by the supplier. I tried using a hot knife cutter for the internal corner, but it didn't go so well... and some cutting is still left to do... 👍

Looks like the boat is coming on well. When you sold Confidence did you give up your berth in Northney? Once this project is complete will you keep her 'up north' or head back to the Solent?

[@confidencesailing]

Gave up the berth in Northney. Really not sure what will happen when the boats done... life can be unpredictable 🤣

[@flytoday]

didn't think about going for a 4G signal booster, that would mean your phone is connected to the network

[@confidencesailing]

Phone, iPad, laptop and Smart TV all use the boats network and the Nav computer will also use that when it gets installed. With some of the SIM only deals around at the moment it's not expensive. I think I pay £7 a month for 40Gb of Data with Smarty. But if I watch too much TV and run out of data I can take the SIM out of the phone, put it in the router and use the data on that. The signal on my phone is almost unusable - but stick the same SIM in the router and 3 bars. Plus it's very cool to have a WiFi network with your Boats name as it's SSID 🤣🤣🤣
