A New Paradigm for Cruising

FPB 64 Headliner System

Circa have just sent us photos of the first of the upholstered headliner panels. Note the reveal between the panels.

This is a detail we first employed on the 78 foot ketch Beowulf back in 1995. We used it again on the FPB 83 Wind Horse and love the aesthetic it helps to create. This is not easy (or inexpensive) to execute, but we and Circa think the end result is worth the effort.

If you click here you can view a slide show with lots of interior shots of Wind Horse which will give you a feel for how the headliner design works.

“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
