A prison ship? No, just a few bars on the hull window inserts to make sure this FPB 97 stays wickedly fair.<\/p>\n

The window frames are a combination of robust engineering and simple construction, so their o-ring gaskets are easily replaced years down the road.<\/p>\n

Windows in the hull are a difficult decision. Our own experience is they are usually covered, so why put them in? But having pioneered the concept 30 years ago with Intermezzo ll,<\/em> we have since been unable to escape their use.<\/p>\n The Matrix deck and roof sub assembly are nearing completion.<\/p>\n There is a great deal of light framing in this area.<\/p>\n We are all looking forward to the day when upper and lower segments are married.<\/p>\n At a lower elevation, skeg construction is nearing completion.<\/p>\n These are strong, carefully shaped, and will provide protection to props and rudders while minimizing flow disturbance into the props.<\/p>\n Next report we will bring you up to date on FPB 64s eight, nine, and ten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
