<\/p>\n
The Circa team is hard at work on the initial stages of FPB 97-1 fabrication, and we are starting to receive some photos of the process.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The photo above shows the floors (frames) and tank top for a section of the hull. This sub assembly is upside down on the building jig.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The by now familiar framing of the bow on FPB 64-9. We love this view. The strength here, plus the collision bulkhead, not to mention the forepeak bulkhead also watertight a ways aft, makes us feel all warm and fuzzy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Initial stages of the prop skeg on FPB 64-8, the hull of which is nearing completion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And a handrail to make use of the forward house ladder a little easier.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Switching now to FPB 64-7, and a clear view of one half of the house battery bank. Note the tie down frame, to keep these in place should the unthinkable occur.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Completed furniture modules are being dropped into the great room.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And the engine room of this seventh FPB 64 is coming along.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
FPB 64-6 is nearing completion, and shows off a slightly different flying bridge layout from her predecessors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A sneak look at the new galley layout, with slightly smaller locker adjacent the entry landing (wet gear now being stored in a locker under the stairs to the flying bridge) allowing us to move the oven to this more user friendly location (no bending over required).<\/p>\n
We’ll close with several photos of the latest Circa dinghy.<\/p>\n
