<\/p>\n
With the very last of the FPB shop drawings nearing completion, we will bring you up to date in a number of areas over the next week. Let’s start with the Matrix deck.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is both a working area for watch keeping and close maneuvering, and a prime entertaining area. There is a combination of fixed and removable furniture for maximum flexibility. We are looking here from the starboard forward corner aft.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Brown Jordan furniture shown amidships can be arranged in different ways. It is shown here in a seagoing mode, where it is secured to eyebolts in the deck. To starboard is a raised seat\/watch bunk\/storage box.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is plenty of real estate for electronics, and chart table\/storage area, to starboard. The stainless \u201ctrombone slides\u201d are shown in their sea-going position. They slide forward, out of the way, in port. The second control box in the port corner is on a tether and is used for docking when you want to see alongside.<\/p>\n
In the aft starboard corner is a small bar with fridge and sink. There is also a head for use by the watch at sea. We will post more art and details in the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
