A New Paradigm for Cruising

FPB 83 – Wind Horse

In the following pages we’ll take you on a tour of the FPB prototype, Wind Horse.

The fact that she has put 25,000 miles under her keel in her first 17 months of cruising says more than anything we could write about how well she does her job.

We’ll take you through her interior,

 

as well as her systems, and explain what makes the FPB such an efficient and easy to cruise design. You could say cruising aboard Wind Horse is child’s play.

Cruising is, after all, what these designs are intended for (definitely not sitting in marinas). That’s why so many of our yachts have circumnavigated, and why all those miles have enjoyably passed under Wind Horse’s bottom in such a short period of time.

“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
