The first of the FPB 78 series now has all of its bottom plate in place, a major milestone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"20140613<\/p>\n

A beautifully fair plating job. Minimum bottom thickness throughout the bottom of the hull, to within two meters of the stern, is 12mm (1\/2\u201d) going up to as thick as 24mm (one inch) in the grounding flat down the centerline.<\/p>\n

\"20140614<\/p>\n

One of the last pieces of the bottom. We know of no other yard that can \u201cwheel\u201d this complex shape into a piece of plate this thick.<\/p>\n

\"20140613<\/p>\n

Last piece of the bottom going on.<\/p>\n

\"20140613<\/p>\n

Now several interior details. Looking here at the great room sole support. The notch out on the left is for the stairs between decks.<\/p>\n

\"20140613<\/p>\n

Although the deck opening is engineered as if it were unreinforced the framing system acts as a deck web to add extra stiffness to the opening.<\/p>\n

A detail shot of the great room sole supporting system.<\/p>\n

\"20140614<\/p>\n

A sign of rapid progress on the FPB 78-1. The masts are being assembled onto the Matrix deck.<\/p>\n

\"20140614<\/p>\n

And here the start of the deck assembly for the second FPB 78.<\/p>\n

\"20140613<\/p>\n

Moving to the carpentry shop the master bunk base is almost ready for finish work.<\/p>\n

\"20140614<\/p>\n

Finally the drawer stack which goes at the foot of the bunk in the forward suite.<\/p>\n

Next week we will bring you up to date on FPB 97-1 and 64-10 as they near launch date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
