We have found with Wind Horse (FPB83) that we can leave the door open at sea 99% of the time, if desired, and stay dry inside,so paying the weight and complexity penalties for a double door do not seem like a good tradeoff.

The newer remote control digital systems are too new for our type of service. Hi Rainer:

Thanks for the very interesting reports about the design and progress of these boats. Best regards, Rainer Steve,
