New Wheelhouse

Here's our new wheelhouse. The top, window trim and doors are teak. The inside is finished with light oak. The roof is a lightweight aluminum/foam composite. The entire structure can be disassembled and lowered. Now we can fit in the tightest tunnels and lowest bridges (not that we're in a rush to do so.)

What we notice the most is the light and improved view from the inside. The wooden trim is thinner so we have more window expanse. Combined with the light wood and the white roof, it's bright and cheerful even on cloudy days.

We're off to a great start for our 2007 season!
