A New Paradigm for Cruising

Awnings

Awnings are a critical part of comfortable cruising in the tropics as well as in cooler environments.

The FPB 64 comes with a complete awning package, the use of which has been a key design element from the beginning.


A welded aluminum framework supports the flying bridge awning. This provides the strength to support the awnings into moderate gale force winds. Excellent protection from sun and rain is provided for the flying bridge and an awning can be developed for the aft deck as well. An aft deck awning lends itself to side and perhaps aft curtains of “Isinglass” for cruising in cooler climates.

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
