'Jenny Wren’ is a 58.5ft #semicruiser & our 15th #SerialHybrid, which we launched on 3rd June. ⚡
In an unusual twist, we only had one #boat move this time... but never ones to make things too easy, we chose a particularly #breezy day to keep things interesting! 💨😄

#Sneakpeek of the tech fit-out for our upcoming #serialhybrid launching in T-minus 5 days!
Always satisfying to see the #electrical systems starting to take shape — careful planning, tidy wiring & reliable components all coming together to support life on the water.
#Boatswithtech #behindthescenes
The corridor bathroom incorporates pops of orange from the exterior colour scheme, and at the bow, you'll find a good-sized bedroom complete with reclaimed oak doors on both the wardrobe and the over-bed cupboard.

At 46ft, Greengage may be the second shortest Ortomarine boat to date, but with the vibrant orange and green colour scheme, it certainly stands out! 😍

Today, we head back to August 2020 to celebrate the launch of our first #serialhybrid “Hunky Dory”
