This means all aspects of the three dimensional shape. You have to model the sectional view that we are looking at here, and integrate it with the plan view (top down), while considering how the boat will steer in port and in surfing conditions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"475\" alt=\"FPB64-1-Sea-Trials-324\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/fpb64-1-sea-trials-324.jpg\" width=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;sharp&#8221; or knifelike bow can be more comfortable upwind, but at a cost in comfort and control with the waves behind you.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" alt=\"FPB64-1-Sea-Trials-312\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/fpb64-1-sea-trials-312.jpg\" width=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Part of the way you mitigate the tendency to bow steer is by cutting away some of the forefoot area. A shape like this also rides over logs and ice more easily than a deeper shape.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"310\" alt=\"FPB64-1-Sea-Trials-338\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/fpb64-1-sea-trials-338.jpg\" width=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And of course this is all balanced by what is happening in the stern. Too much volume aft and the seas on the stern force the bow down: a wet, harsh ride results. Too little stern volume and  drag increases beyond very slow speeds.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"501\" alt=\"FPB64-1-Sea-Trials-334\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/fpb64-1-sea-trials-334.jpg\" width=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But if you get the relationship between bow and stern right, a lovely, easy motion is the result. We&#8217;ll know soon how the FPB 64 does in this regard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the FPB 64 out of the clutter of the building hall we thought you might like to see few <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/hull-shape-revealed\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fpb64-notes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10682"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10682\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
