\"FPB64<\/p>\n

With all the excitement about the start of construction on the first FPB 97, it is easy to forget about the four FPB 64s currently in various stages of construction. We’ll start with FPB 64-6 and then move on to the other boats. Shown above is the fresh water pressure pump setup: twin pumps, so when one quits (probably mid-shower) it is easy to bring the pressure back online.<\/p>\n

Roving bilge pump hose.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Still in the basement, heater coil above left and fridge\/freezer compressors below.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the mast is being readied for its electronic components.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

And the furniture is installed and \u00a0protected.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Seat base in the great room. Note seat belt sections attached to reinforcing plate at outboard side of furniture frame.<\/p>\n

Moving on now to FPB 64-7.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

The concentration for FPB 64-7 is on wiring and systems.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Fuel and heater manifolds in the basement.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Air con cooling pump connections to fresh water tank.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Damage control pump pickup (middle) and isolated hydraulics hoses.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Finally, initial runs of fuel lines, domestic fresh water, and damage control suction pipe.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

FPB 64-8 is coming along quite nicely with the hull welding nearing completion.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Finally, FPB 64-9, with its skeleton complete, and first hull plates affixed.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

The by now familiar stem detail, with its massive stem bar, breast hooks, and Sampson post.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

A somewhat distorted (wide angle) view of the forepeak framing.<\/p>\n

\"FPB64<\/p>\n

Framing in the middle of the boat.<\/p>\n

OK, enough boat building details. Back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
