You are standing on a rigid coaming of the FPB 70-1’s Matrix deck, looking toward the bow. Inside and out, she is coming together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Standing forward now, looking aft, note the notch in the coaming for access forward. With the solar panels roof-mounted, this area is now open.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The great room above and below. Note the open area below the seating. This looks into the basement. The basement is laid out so that the L-shaped settee to port and long settee to starboard provide headroom in the basement. The framework is in place for interior finishes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 70 has a similar Dorade vent system to that which is working so well on the 78s. You can see the ceiling diffusers at the top outside corners of the photo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Standing in the galley now, looking forward. The fridge-freezer box is similar in size to the FPB 64. In addition, you could easily put in a couple of eight cubic foot\/cubic meter sized conventional freezer chests in the basement area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The aft port corner of the basement showing the damage control pump and related manifold. This gives you a sense of the headroom to the underside of the deck above.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Owners’ suite looking aft. The door on the starboard side of the boat is one of two forward entrances into the basement. It leads to a large closet area. Turn right as you step through the door and you have two large bulkheads on which are mounted most of the electrical\/electronics hardware. Batteries go under the bunk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Standing in the forward head looking to starboard from where the shower\/tub unit will go. The toilet goes opposite.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The engine room will have slightly more open space than the 78s, in scale, due mainly to the black\/gray water tanks being moved aft and under the swim step.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Looking to port from the starboard side of the engine room.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Looking aft into the “Executive Lounge” (workshop\/lazarette\/crew quarters).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Swim platform looking forward. The hatch on the port side is for flammable stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
