Having completed her 7000 mile shakedown from New Zealand Sarah Sarah is starting to undergo the finishing touches of her owners. These photos were shot over the past few days in Seattle. It will be interesting to compare them in a few months to what she looks like finished.
For a yacht that completed a fall passage from Hawaii, 10 days ago (not to mention having left New Zealand just two months ago) we think she looks pretty good.

Are you ever going to build another FPB 83?

Hi Bo:
The FPB 83 was intended as a one off, and the FPB 64, being series built, is far more efficient cost wise. That said, if someone wanted an FPB 83 we would be happy to oblige.

You make reference to design and drawings tasks while on board. Wil we see something new coming on the market soon? There is so little out there with your quality of design and construction that I think many of us would be interested.

We are always thinking. In this case the reference was a drawing for the FPB64s.

Boy you sure have been thinking. Congratulations on the announcement of the FPB 112, put my name on one! Can’t wait to see the details.

I was touring around Port Townsend, WA, on November 6 with two of my classmates from Webb (the sname annual meeting was the week before.). We watched as SARAH made her way into harbor with a fresh breeze blowing. The profile was distinctive and I had seen the ProBoat articles, so she had my attention. The skipper turned her 180 degrees in a confined area despite the wind. Thankfully, we looked so interested the owner was kind enough to invite us aboard. Beautiful and functional. Thanks for tour. I was impressed with exterior plate fairness; friction stir welding or conventional process?
Congrats to owner, designer, & builder.
