Windshields on sailboats make no sense to us, unless they are incorporated into a dodger design. We shared a dock with this fifty foot (15m) Bavaria in Reine, Norway, and were impressed with the details.
This combination creates a really cozy cockpit enclosure, perfect for cold climates. But in the tropics a lack of opening windows forward would be a major negative.

Hi Steve,
What is the air draft with the mast folded? Will most of the canal system in Europe be usable?
Has your custom tender worked as well as you hoped? Are copies or plans available?
Thanks,
Daryl

Howdy Daryl:
Air draft on the FPB64 at half load with mast folded down and flying bridge hand rails removed is 3.8m/12.4′. We love the dinghy (see https://setsail.com/wind-horse-dinghy-after-five-seasons/ for an update). Plans are not available for the dink.
