As this rather detracts from the appearance, and would not be there if you were admiring your vessel at anchor (since you would be in the dinghy), we thought we should start the day with a cleaner view.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next week we&#8217;ll upload a series of drawings showing different aspects of this design, along with comments on how we see the boat being used, its performance, and some of the unique features that are possible in this size of FPB. Right now, let&#8217;s give you the basic data.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The concept is to have a standard package of structure, bulkheads, tankage, and systems, into which a variety of interior layouts fit. This approach creates substantial efficiencies in cost and build time, and will allow us to deliver a very high standard yacht at a reasonable price. As is our custom, these yachts will come complete with all systems, spare parts, tools, and training.<\/p>\n<p>So far we \u00a0have developed three versions of the FPB 112:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Owner operator where a husband and wife cruise the boat on their own, or with one hand or a couple aboard for help with watchstanding and to look after the boat when the owners are away. Although this might seem like a big boat for a couple to handle, between twin engines, big rudders, a powerful thruster, and six electric deck winches controlled from the helm, we expect her to be more tractable than even the FPB 83 <em>Wind Horse<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>There is a fully crewed version, with a layout that encourages separation of crew and owner&#8217;s party. We \u00a0have had the input of a number of very experienced professionals on this layout, so they can do their job with maximum efficiency while having minimal impact on the enjoyment of the owners.<\/li>\n<li>The third rif is a commercial build, suitable for charter, school ship duties, science projects, and survey work. The range, fuel burn, and sea keeping abilities should be particularly suited to the latter two functions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now a few specifications, preliminary of course at this stage, but probably pretty close:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Length on deck &#8211; 114 feet\/35m<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Length waterline &#8211; 111.5 feet\/34.2m<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Beam max &#8211; 21 feet\/6.44m<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Draft &#8211; 5.5 feet\/1.7m<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Cruising speed &#8211; 12.5 knots<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Top speed &#8211; 14 knots<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Fuel capacity &#8211; 5000 US gallons\/19,000 liters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Range at 12.5 knots &#8211; 5200 nautical miles<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Range at 11 knots &#8211; 6875 nautical miles<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Fresh water capacity &#8211; 2000 US gallons\/7500 liters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\">Power &#8211; two John Deere six cylinder 300 HP diesels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In terms of structure and security the basic allowance in our weight budget is for framing and plating to twice the Lloyds Special Service rule stiffness requirements, with 12mm bottom plate. There are three full and two partial watertight bulkheads, a double bottom throughout the interior, and a massive bow girder. As with all FPBs this design will right itself from a full capsize. Both prop shafts are faired into and supported by full \u00a0propeller depth skegs.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned&#8230; Lots more coming in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been stunned by the reaction t the FPB 112 (or Big Sister as we call her) and want <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/fpb-112-basic-specifications\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16527,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fpb-112"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14194"}],"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=14194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44829,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14194\/revisions\/44829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
