Pictures of the Salish Sea Yachts IS48 at the Seattle Boat Show September 2011

B elow are a few pictures taken of the recently launched Salish Sea, an Inland Sound Yachts 48 (IS48). These were taken at the September 2011 Seattle Boat Show.

I spent Saturday on board talking to show attendees. The response to the boat was very positive, I think that people enjoyed seeing something new and a bit different.

I will start posting articles detailing some of the features of this boat and why we made some of the choices we did.

Salish Sea Yachts IS48 Dash Concept Evolution

Posted by Dan on Jun 12, 2011 in Design and details, Yacht interiors, general | 0 comments

T  he interior of the first Salish Sea Yachts IS48 is a Northwest Contemporary look, we have tried to carry that feeling through as much as is reasonable. After laying out the initial concepts, this has gone along pretty easily, the bunks, head cabinets, Yellow cedar ceiling (planking on the hull sides) flooring, etc. Not so with my original dash concept, it was a pretty much “normal” design that used the details of this boat, I just didn’t like it. We all seemed to agree that it would look to bulky in this interior. This being a fairly simple looking, (not cluttered) interior, I rethought the piece.

I thought that I should add a picture of this dash now that is installed and complete. I am very happy with how it turned out, now if I would have just slide the screen covers out of sight before taking the picture. This relates to this previous post.

Pacific Yew on Douglas Fir

Above is a detail on the corner of the IS -48 nightstand. This is in progress. The finish is seal coats of Sherwin Williams conversion varnish. The final finish will be Medium Rubbed effect SW conversion varnish. I really like the look of the Yew against the Fir. For more info see IS-48 Look & Feel Concept
