Notice the red on the electrical panels in the background? That&#8217;s the AC and DC meters illuminated, indicating the electrical systems are being tested.

Because the furniture needs to be protected and there is a large crew at work finishing up, most of the photos we have been showing you the last year are cluttered &#8211; not the best presentation. But unwrapping the furniture and moving tools and people slows construction, which we obviously want to avoid. So it is a choice between bringing you along with the build process in detail, or waiting long periods between neatly presented photos. We assume you prefer the former.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"384\" alt=\"FPB64-1-Feb-18-2010-208\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/fpb64-1-feb-18-2010-208.jpg\" width=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It won&#8217;t be long before we are able to show you this first FPB 64 in its final form.
