\"Fpb<\/p>\n

Here is a totally different approach to a pilot house layout, the concept for which was suggested by one of the folks we have worked with to develop the the FPB 115 into what it is today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The question was asked “Why do guests always sit behind the helm? They cannot converse with the helmsperson face to face, and their view forward is impaired.”<\/p>\n

Why indeed.<\/p>\n

This got us to noodling the result of which you see above. \u00a0Guests can sit facing forward, sideways, or aft as whim dictates. If you are cruising as a family, with youngsters aboard (either progeny or grandkids), the younger generation \u00a0has room to play while \u00a0parents helm, stand watch, or just relax and enjoy the scenery.<\/p>\n

There is room for five at the table as drawn (it could be larger).<\/p>\n

If you are passaging short-handed there \u00a0the off watch can stretch out and sleep close at hand.<\/p>\n

Of course there is a fridge, ice maker, microwave, sink for cleaning up, with lots of storage and counter space.<\/p>\n

The negative is slightly impaired vision forward when the windows are wet or dirty. Based on the view in this situation from the middle of the great room on Wind Horse<\/em> this would not be a major impediment for us.<\/p>\n

We like this layout, a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
