FPB 64-3 Iron Lady Profiles

FPB 64 3 Iron Lady 125

We have just received a few photos of Iron Lady which we thought might be of interest.

She has her Circa designed aluminum skiff now on deck.

To our eyes  it looks like it belongs.

Although just 13 feet long, this skiff will carry a substantial payload.

Finally, the swim platform with its access hatches open.

    Hello HK: We have done outboard brackets on a couple of sailing designs (the first time with Wakaroa 30 years ago). However, this is not a long distance solution with gasoline outboards. The outboard used with FPB64-4 is a diesel (rebuilt Yanmar) and as such offers more possibilities. We are going to study this onboard in a few weeks when we are in New Zealand for trials.
