Compromises come thick and fast in barge building and
here is a further example, the circular kitchen and sink height. Normal
kitchen work surface heights are 93cm (approx.) but this got too tight
below the gunnel area so we mocked up this 10cm lower section to see if
it worked okay. Alan modeled it and it worked fine. This enabled Tim
Smith of
Andrew Varah
cabinet makers, who was with Alan at this fitting, to see first-hand and remodel the
kitchen to incorporate this lowered sink area. All agreed that it was a
good compromise and would add a feature rather than look odd.
This mocked up sink area would stay in place for the
sea trials of JENAL and her UK bound Channel crossing, enabling
her occupants to source water etc.
