Big things are happening in the Far North of New Zealand. Moving day for FPB 64-8 has arrived. Hull number eight in this series has been moved out of its shed leaving additional room for work on the deck modules of FPB 97-1.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can get a sense for the length overall of the FPB 97 from this photo taken from the stern of FPB 64-9. FPB 97-1 is not yet wearing her aft quarter of the hull.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the photo above the first parts of the great room roof are being jigged up in the bay just vacated by FPB 64-8.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
FPB 64-8 is having its insulation installed. This material deadens sound, reduces heat gain, and helps to keep the boat from sweating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
FPB 64-7 is going through final inspection and assembly. She will be ready soon to start the water builder’s trials.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And the furniture for the FPB 97-1 is coming along nicely as well.<\/p>\n
While all of this is going on down under, there is lots happening in the Northern Hemisphere. Stay tuned for some exciting news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
