:: Mikelson 57 Nearing Completion ::

We are nearing completion of the Mikelson 57 at our docks in San Diego. This week we continue to test and refine all systems on board. Some of the additions this week include the installation of a fighting chair and stainless steel railing to the swimstep (seen below). The cockpit on the Mikelson 57 is massive. Even with a full size fighting chair, you still have a tremendous amount of room to walk around, and all of the access hatches in the cockpit floor are still easily accessible.


Below is a shot of the port side engine access hatch. Both the port and starboard access hatches are controlled by electric actuators so that you can easily open/close them by the push of a button. Additonally, we installed a 5.0 cubic foot chest freezer in the engine room. This will allow for extra food storage for extended trips.



Lastly, we installed the stainless steel chocks and placed the dinghy on board. Note, the amount of space around the dinghy and davit, as well as the bow railing. We strive to build each boat with safety, comfort, and ease of use in mind.
