Do you realize how small this forum is? It has 15,000 members, and at all times twice as many guests looking, but no one ever posts, there are only two dozen posters with more than 100 posts, and only 7714 threads (for compairison , a science forum I belong to that started in 2006 has 18,000 threads excluding off topic material and 1/3rd the membership). It took about three weeks to read every review, every post in the yacht renderings forum, and every post that mentions crew quarters.

This is an awefully nice forum, but people just don't post, and until that changes you can't really call it extensive. I'm not asking to be linked to other forums, or blogs, that compete with YF, but there are enough yacht manufacturers that one has to be showing off some extensive interior pics and layouts. There have got to be books on the subject. Someone has to have a big flicker gallery that is heavy on interiors from boat shows.

As has been stated before, most yacht interiors are very private. Would you want someone wandering around your house with a camera?

A good photo resource is Boat International magazine, unfortunately you may encounter my ugly face and on one occassion my bum, in some shots.

Not sure about the “private” stuff, as the majority of big yachts are for charter, so a successful boat can easily have had a thousand people sleeping in your bed and using your shower.

We have worked hard to get quality over quantity in the forums, just chatting about the lifestyle of the rich and famous does not belong here.

If you are an owner or interested to buy a yacht, or belong to the industry you can exchange questions and answers and others will learn by reading what is discussed.

Regarding designers discussions, I am one of the few showing my concepts in advance, which has been nice but probably not so smart as I am giving away a lot. But the best ideas I still keep for myself...

hi there

question for everyone (i think this is what Opcn was after), ok im designing a 61' SF at the moment, and i have a small issue with the ladder going up to the flybridge. Q. should i have the ladder attach on the side of the ice box (which i have now), or should i have it attached on the front surface? pros or cons? i think the way i have it at the moment it is easy to get into the ice box, but it is in the way when entering the cabin.

comments?

New poster here, I looked through several of the forums here and this seemed to possibly be the place to ask. I have a small interior design issue.

My wife insists the LCD in the stateroom looks hideous and wants me to find a frame for it. I've looked on the internet and I'd seen several different options, but I don't want one that uses canvas straps, and I obviously don't want to have one permanently attached. What are my options?

I've found several companies online that might work, but I don't want to post links here unless someone tells me it's ok. Has anyone else encountered this admittedly obscure issue?

[Opcn]

Four of these on any frame you like.

the best way to make it look like it belongs there is to build a frame around it using the same material (wood I guess) used for the rest of the trim/bulkhead in that stateroom. not sure what you mean about straps, flat screens are usually mounted using brackets, some of them have a very low profile

To give you an idea of what I'm looking at, check out www.framemytv.com, they use straps. Some of their frames are ok, but I don't get a warm and fuzzy about using them on the high seas. I just found a better company, www.hdenvy.com that I might go with, they appear to have a more secure method. Has anyone used them, either for marine use or home/business?

I hope it was ok to include those links, let me know if otherwise.

The mirrored system shown in one of the links that you posted has a particular downside. Tried a similar product and any motion in the room or even the tiniest light source reflected off the mirrored surface in a most distracting way.
Ended up with a product from a company in Florida that had retracting artwork in front of the screen. I can dig up the name of the manufacturer if it would help.

Thanks Codger, I agree about the mirrored frames. I've heard they aren't all they're cracked up to be. I just want a basic frame, I'm thinking about going with the "traditional" frame from Hd Envy. It seems to be everything I'd need.
