I think that Flybridges are overrated in most of the Northern part of the Globe, as much as not having one, is overrated in most of the Tropics. Yeah! if you only have 2-3 months of summer a year, it will be a lot of money spent for little time. Yet, if you have 9 months summer time, as we do in the southern hemisphere, then you need a Flybridge.
I have had long hours of discussion with my boat designer about the subject. Believe it or not, on a 46’ Trawler, a flybridge represents 18% of the total cost of the boat, as it does on mine! But with high humidity levels, and constant temperatures in the middle 90’s, a covered Fly is always welcome. Or, be ready to fill your boat with expensive AC units, which require constant work from Genny!
These are my 2 Cents on the subject
By the way I got diverted here. Beautiful boat Many!!!
Cheers!
