FPB 64 6 details 2 101

The sixth FPB 64 is now undergoing sea trials. She has a new great room layout, and we thought you might like to see a few photos of the galley. It is late, there is lots on our plate, so we’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

    Love the galley looking forward to using it very soon. I am also thrilled with the table
    it looks so good in the down position.


  2. Steve Dashew Says:

    Agreed, Lisa:
    Somebody had a good idea about that!


  3. Rod Manser Says:

    Thank you. Great looking materials and quality of workmanship and systems integration.


  4. Paul Says:

    I noticed in the basement there’s an enclosure with the Door on it is out of freezer?


  5. Steve Dashew Says:

    Yes, that is the second freezer.


  6. Bob N. Says:

    I notice in the spec (on the Berthon site) for the 64 that you’ve changed to Simrad AP50 autopilots. I thought you were a great fan of the WH. Why the change?


  7. Steve Dashew Says:

    Long story, Bob:
    Bottom line is that while we’d use Wil’s gear ourselves we feel switching pilots was best. At present we are fitting Com Nav with Accusteer pumpsets.


  8. Mike Says:

    Steve,

    What wood was used in the galley? Is it real or engineered?


  9. Steve Dashew Says:

    Hi Mike:
    The galley timber is real, not plastic (although some of the new HPLs are almost impossible to tell from the real thing), and cherry.
