Todd and Mark are visiting FPB 97-1 in New Zealand this week and are sending back some great photos, which we thought you might enjoy seeing. This first series are taken inside the forepeak. That is Todd with his black sweater vest and FPB hat (at six foot four inches a good reference scale), and […]

Owner Blogs: Pete Rossin’s Take On VPNs – Posted By Sarah
Pete and Debby Rossin own FPB 64 Iron Lady, and write a very interesting blog about their travels and goings-on. Pete’s recent techie post regarding internet browsing security got everyone in this family using VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks. In this age of constant global criss-crossing and wifi use, it’s a worthy consideration. Check out […]
Thanksgiving And A Few Reflections
We are headed out to have Thanksgiving with the family in Atwater Village, California. Although an iconic American holiday, the sentiment of the Thanksgiving name is understood in most of the world. We have much to be thankful for, including a loyal group of fellow travelers in the SetSail community. On the off chance that […]
FPB 64-6: A New Galley Layout and Other Details
The sixth FPB 64 is now undergoing sea trials. She has a new great room layout, and we thought you might like to see a few photos of the galley. It is late, there is lots on our plate, so we’ll let the photos speak for themselves. There is a new table in the salon […]
Wicked!
We’ve been at this a long time, seen more yachts under construction than we can remember, looked at untold thousands of photographs of same, and nothing has ever come close to the image above received a few minutes ago. Check the scale of the bow compared to the mere humans (and big ones at that) […]
Wind Horse – Working Towards Perfection (Making The Best Better)
Since launching, Wind Horse has comfortably chauffeured us well over 50,000 miles, through the tropics, to the ice pack of the high Arctic beyond 80 degrees North, and along the Intra Coastal Waterway. She has done this with a minimum of fuss, little maintenance, at a fraction of the cost we were used to before. […]
A Wicked FPB 97 Exterior Update
We’ve been so busy on the details end of FPB 97-1 – a project like this has a tendency to take all your bandwidth – that we have been remiss in keeping SetSailors up to date on the design. Better late than never, here are some updated renderings of the exterior of this Wicked FPB. […]
A Wickedly Cool FPB 97 Great Room
We thought it was time to devote some computing energy towards showing you the latest on the Wicked FPB 97 Great Room. These renderings only hint at the feeling of space that this Great Room will engender. When you walk in through the main door, and take in the unobstructed view towards the bow, you […]
Wicked FPB 97-1: Starting To Feel The Scale
You are looking at the business end of what will become an enormously strong bow structure on FPB 97-1. This is the centerline girder, or stem bar as it is commonly known. It is 40mm thick here, and when joined by the two 12mm topside plates will be a total of 64mm thick, or 2.5″. […]
Hurricane Sandy – Live Data From Wind Horse Using Maretron’s N2K View
We’ve put together a live web view of Wind Horse‘s “vital stats”, to track how she is doing as Hurricane Sandy passes by while she is hauled out at Triton Marine in Beaufort, North Carolina. This data comes from the Maretron N2K View system via their Cloud Server. This view of the data will refresh […]
