Lady Delph (SunIntended as a no-compromise express cruiser with an equal balance between cockpit space for lounging and entertaining and luxurious interior accommodations for owner and guests, the Camargue feels right at home on American waters. Low, lean and stylish, the Camargue's foredeck seems long enough to launch carrier aircraft, yet there's ample cockpit space for a dozen or more of your closest friends.

The wide integral swim platform makes boarding easy, with a teak stairway leading to the cockpit level via a walkway to port that leaves a spacious sun pad for soaking up rays. As the entryway widens out, a deeply upholstered U-shaped lounge has seating for eight around a folding table, providing a gathering spot for cocktails or al fresco dining. Opposite is a built-in wet bar with sink, bottle locker, and refrigerator/ice maker.

Just forward is the helm area, with a seat to port and a wide bench seat for the helmsman and companion that is heavily bolstered and hinged to permit both standing and sitting. Hydraulic power steering is standard, and the burled walnut facia on the dash holds a full array of analog engine gauges as well as the Detroit Diesel DDEC electronic instrumentation for our test boat DDEC engines. Even more impressive is the electronics collection, since Sunseeker provides everything as standard equipment: radar, autopilot, VHF, depth sounder, and electronic speedo. Grip the glossy wood-rimmed steering wheel, gaze out through the steeply raked windshield, and pick your next port of call: Chicago, Mackinac, St Tropez?

Going forward, the side decks are fully protected by the welded stainless-steel rails and the sturdy windshield serves as a hand rail. The electric anchor windlass has cockpit controls for both up and down, and a large locker forward has space for docklines and other deck gear.

It's obvious that the generous seating and lounge areas of the cockpit are aimed at an open air lifestyle, but Sunseeker includes the radar arch with a full suntop and sidecurtains for those blustery afternoons on the English Channel.

Before going below, take a quick look back at the transom swim platform. The entire transom hinges up on electric lifts to reveal a seagoing garage that can hold a tender or jetbike which is launched and retrieved with a powerful electric winch. In addition, a hidden swim ladder leads down from the stairway and can be converted to a passerelle plank for stern-to boarding. The swim platform also has a hot-and-cold shower, and there's room in the garage for a windlass to simplify Med mooring.

Step below on the Camargue 55, and you're in another world of mirror-finished woods, soft leathers, and graceful curves. The saloon of our test boat was paneled in honey-colored birds eye maple which, with the fawn-colored leather upholstery, provided a light and elegant ambiance. To starboard is an S-shaped sofa with soft suede upholstery, and a fold-out dining table that can seat six easily.

The galley area to port curves to match the sofa and, when not in use, all the galley equipment is concealed under or behind maple panels. The deep sink has folding faucets to tuck under a counter panel, and the two-burner ceramic cooktop has another covering panel. The microwave oven and grill are in eye-level cabinets and even the under-counter double refrigerator/freezer have maple faces. The resulting galley is unobtrusive when entertaining, and fully functional when needed.

The master stateroom is forward, with a centerline oval double berth with large storage drawers and bins underneath, cedar-lined hanging locker, and settee. The private head compartment is of molded fiberglass with maple trim, and includes an electric toilet and separate shower stall with a curved door that rotates into place.

Aft, a pair of guest staterooms mirror each other with twin single berths, full headroom, full-height hanging lockers and underberth drawers. Both cabins share use of the second head (with shower stall) that also serves the salon for day use.

Construction is conventional and well-proven, with handlaid fiberglass, woven roving and unidirectional fabrics for strength. A balsa core is used in the topsides for added panel strength, and Sunseeker uses isophthalic gelcoat and resins backed up by orthophthalic resins. A bonded fiberglass and foam girder system stiffens the hull as well as carries the loads from the engines and structural molds, and an anti-blister treatment protects the hull before the bottom paint is applied.

You'll find the installation practices to be as good as any in the world: all the wiring is neatly bundled, the plumbing is carefully shielded from chafe and heat, and your mechanic will have plenty of room to move around all the various systems. Our test boat had the standard G&M 10.8 kW generator, U.S. spec. 120v shorepower, and an impressive bank of nine batteries with split-charging systems.

Sunseeker modified the Don Shead-designed deep-vee hull to a modified vee bottom with propeller pockets that not only provide shallower draft but also a much more efficient operation with near-level direct drive prop shafts. While prop pockets can sometimes affect the steering, the rudders on the 55 give away Sunseeker's performance orientation, with high-performance shapes and transom mounting for maximum control. Four-bladed bronze props are standard, as are the stainless-steel shafts and bronze P-brackets.

Unlike many Euro-styled designs that look fast at dockside and then turn out to be tepid performers offshore, the Camargue 55 has more than enough punch to keep you satisfied. Our test boat, with the Detroit 8V92 DDEC II engines (760 HP each), topped out at 37 knots, which is impressive when you consider we were pushing a 20 ton boat with an additional ton and a half of fuel, full cruising gear and six people aboard. At a comfortable 1900 RPM cruising speed, our 55 was still doing nearly 30 knots (29.5, actually) which will not only get you to Mackinac Island or Bimini or St. Tropez quickly, but will keep those diesels running happily for thousands of hours. A variety of power options are available, including MAN and MTU diesels, but the Detroit 8V92 were the most popular package for the 55.

At 30+ knots, the Camargue flattens out even lumpy seas into a mild rocking horse motion that allows your landlubber guests to walk around the cockpit, set their drinks down and, best of all, not turn green. Handling is what you'd expect from 20 tons of inertia: she rolls leisurely into turns and carves an immense white swath as she banks gracefully around. Picture the torpedo runs of PT-109, and you'll have an idea of the majestic feel of the Camargue.

The standard equipment list for the 55 includes the entertainment center with television, VCR and stereo/CD player,full fire extinguisher system, windlass, cockpit carpeting, shore fresh water, and 10.8 kW generator.

For '95, the Camargue will have a 51' sister, which has one guest stateroom and less space in the salon and cockpit, but still has the stern garage. Top of Sunseeker's Performance Motoryacht line for '95 is the aptly named Predator 77, a four stateroom, three head layout with a variety of power options including jet drives or Arneson surface props, and a Sunseeker-built jet-powered tender already in the garage!

After viewing and running the Camargue 55, it's clear that this is one boat that will keep the sun from setting on the British Empire!

My mother-in-law's magnificent St George electric cooktop with a double oven from whence she makes the most delicious meals.

Taken with iPhone 4S.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Great desktop wallpaper. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In glowing Harvest Gold, as are the cooktop and dishwasher, the oven is original to the house and had just been cleaned. This thing has more chrome than a '58 Buick! It doesn't always look this good so I couldn't resist a picture.

I finally managed to install a more "period correct" range hood over my cooktop. I used parts from 3 vent hoods like that one to make one that looks decent! I like the result.

Detail shot for realtor. This is a single exposure with no flash, exposure brought up a bit given the fast-ish SS but left a little below the actual brightness of the room. I was looking for ways to use my Sigma Art 60mm prime lens (you may recognize this is a really long lens you wouldn't normally get to use for real estate in smaller homes; I forgot my 18-55mm pancake kit lens)--I don't do detail shots much, but wanted to increase the number of photos without adding similar angles to the set and thus add value to the price.

I also took a similar shallow DOF shot of the pendant lights over the bar which aren't visible here, and of course one of the brand new gas cooktop and oven combo. I didn't send the latter because the photo looked like I was trying to sell the appliance on Craigslist so I didn't bother editing.

Historically significant yacht, Alloy Yahts first yacht over 100'. With the first carbon-fibre mast and an efficient fully-battened mainsail, 32.6m Esprit featured the transfer of technology from America’s Cup design into the superyacht cruising domain.

The perfect poach

We've been debating a kitchen remodel for some time now. We've shopped appliances and materials. We've talked to different contractors. We've gotten a range of pricing and saved accordingly. Over the past few weeks, we finally decided to move forward on the project, and the construction is now complete.

The largest hold-up in moving forward with the project was in debating just how much to remodel. We knew the kitchen, being ten years old, was outdated and needed to be refreshed, but the price tag that came with our full vision was more than we were willing to spend. We talked it through and decided to invest enough to add resale value to the house, in preparation for a move in the next few years.

We're not sure where we'll move to just yet, but it is likely that we'll stay in the Parker, CO area.

So what all did we do? Well, over the past year we upgraded the dishwasher and the microwave. The keypad on our previous microwave went out one day, and the stock dish washer, which sits right above my office, was too loud for me to work. The microwave is also a convection oven, and we have been really impressed with the technology. Our replacement oven also has the convection feature.

The counters that we used to have we the stock laminate material that builders use, and it looked dated. We decided on a granite surface, and went with a darker tone to make the appliances stand out. I personally loathed the old bisque range that interrupted the countertop and created multiple points for food to collect. To solve this we went with an induction cooktop.

A new faucet and nice deep sink were also installed. The sink is mounted under the granite surface, which again makes cleaning the kitchen a snap.

The induction cooktop only works if your pots and pans are magnetic. Almost none of our old pots and pans were magnetic, so we went in search of a new set and landed at a high quality brushed stainless steel set. With the new, darker, countertops, we found that many of our accessories no longer matched, so we also upgraded the toaster (always a personal pain point of mine), and moved to clear glass containers for things like sugar, tea bags, etc.

The only standout is the bisque refrigerator (not pictured) that doesn't really fit it's space. We bought it when we moved in, and didn't realize that there were different "standard" sizes of refrigerators. It has performed great, with only one minor repair needed (thanks, Dad), but it totally no longer matches the kitchen. We have a replacement already in mind, but are holding off until the dust settles.

We also updated the countertops and sinks in the bathrooms throughout the house with the same granite. We want to update the master shower, and then we'll be ready to move. That'll likely be another year or so in the making though, until we've saved up enough money for the renovation.

What didn't we do? Well, the cabinets themselves are still the cabinets that came with the house. There actually a decent material, and they go great with the other colors and textures in the house (i.e. the wood floor). That investment would have added upwards of another $8,000 - $10,000 on the price tag. Not worth it with the potential move in mind.

This is more of my dramatic black cabinetry in the kitchen. The whole space was designed around that tile above the cooktop... it cost me about 13.00 at TJ Maxx- gotta love that kind of affordable inspiration!

When we chose an induction cooktop several years ago, we joked that if Hallie jumped up onto it, she wouldn't burn herself.

Well, now she's deaf, and she no longer cares a fig about behaving. Before 7am, I had to remove her from not only the cooktop but also the farmhouse sink.

With its stone-and-shake façade and angled courtyard entry, the Chatsworth makes a dramatic opening statement. And the interior does nothing to disappoint.

The foyer presents a sprawling view through the open floor plan, with formal dining room, massive great room, chef’s kitchen, and breakfast room all visible. The kitchen is exceptional with its cooktop island, bar servicing the great room, and expansive counter space. A dramatic screen porch and large covered porch are steps away from the breakfast room.

An open staircase to the lower level is a stunning detail in the great room. Other special features include a formal study, powder room, walk-in pantry and utility room with extra work space. The huge master suite has a decorative ceiling and bay window, as well as dual walk-in closets and lavish bath.

Downstairs, two bedrooms with private baths flank a rec room with fireplace and built-in shelves. All three rooms have French doors leading to the huge covered lower porch with spa.
