£1,700 Later… And It Still Wasn’t Right!!!!

Replacing the saloon cushions on a cruising yacht should have been straightforward. We spent weeks choosing fabrics, selecting the correct foam, creating detailed layouts and even producing design renderings to ensure the finished result was exactly what we wanted. The contractor inspected the boat, took templates, agreed a price and accepted the job. But things didn't go according to plan. Delays started to mount, deadlines slipped, and as the new cushions began arriving onboard, it became clear that some of the workmanship wasn't meeting the standard we'd agreed. With our planned departure from Tunisia fast approaching and a weather window to Malta opening up, the pressure was on. But in the end...... In this video we take a detailed look at the design process, the materials chosen, the workmanship issues we encountered and the difficult conversations that followed. Was I expecting too much? Or was the standard simply not good enough? You decide.
