SetSail FPB ยป Intro to FPB Program
Toughest structure with highest factors of safety we have ever used.
Three full and two partial watertight bulkheads.
Double bottom formed by fuel and water tanks.
Over 5,000 nautical mile range at 9.7 knots (full load, smooth water) confirmed with real world testing.
Excellent maneuverability without using the bow thruster.
Aft deck layout works better than expected and barbecue, in lee of house, is a great add.
Flying bridge ergonomics are excellent. New awning and frame system works well.
Interior layout, starting with entry landing is on target. The feeling of spaciousness is as expected. Galley, ship’s office, and owner’s suite all work as envisioned.
Engine room layout allows good access and is visually appealing.
Systems installation is first rate.
11 knots top speed at full load from 236 HP confirms efficiency.
It is going to be great cruising with less than five feet of draft.
