A New Paradigm for Cruising

Handrail Design

FPB 64 March 8-2010-125

Handrail design and positioning is a tricky art. You want the rails where they are convenient to use, and easy to grip, but not overbearing aesthetically. The photo above is on the starboard side of the entry landing on the first FPB 64.

Over the years we have found that about 1.5″/37mm is a good clearance between handrail and adjacent surfaces. Within a couple of weeks you will see the handrail layout throughout the first FPB 64.

“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
