A New Paradigm for Cruising

FPB 64

Greetings, I have followed Wind Horse occasionally and am in tune with your design philosophy. I am delighted to see your new 64. I have several questions that I could not find answered on you excellent web pages: What does FPB stand for? What is the cost of your FPB 64? Have you reduced the draft on the prop skeg after the first version? I live on the Gulf coat of Florida where shallow draft is important. Thank you, Randy Knight
Hi Randy: Functional Power Boat = FPB. Current price, fully equipped is about US$2.5 million. Draft has not been reduced. But depeneding on howo the boat is to be used and if y ou were prepared to sacrifice a few points in efficiency you might cut four inches/100mm off the prop and skeg.

“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
