A springtime review of the area surrounding the world headquarters of Dashew Offshore has become somewhat of a tradition. This year we are also testing the high speed delivery system to its max, these images harder on the pipeline than mere renderings. We are often asked why we picked Southern Arizona as a base of […]

Finding the Confidence to Do It
As designers and builders, we think of our yachts as progeny and our clients as family. As such, we take great pleasure in the exploits of the former and the growth of the latter into accomplished voyagers. It is one of the main ingredients that keeps us coming back for more. Pete and Deb Rossin’s […]
Wicked Sex With The FPB 97
It has been a very long day, with a previously short evening, and after three multi-hour Skype calls to different parts of the world, your correspondent is in need of a pick-me-up. There’s the cold Izze soda awaiting in the corporate lounge, and probably some cheese and crackers. But after a day like this what […]
Fine Tuning the First FPB 97
We’ve been hard at work fine-tuning FPB 97-1 for her very experienced owner. His goal is a highly efficient cruising platform, one which is easy to maintain, and has the highest degree of reliability. There is an instinctive understanding of the difference between the theoretical ideal and the everyday practical. The results so far, of […]
FPB 64 Update May 7, 2012
Time being in exceedingly short supply at present, we are going to post a batch of photos of FPB 64-5 through 7, without the usual commentary. The assumption is that you’d rather see the photos than wait for the schedule to free up. We’ll start with FPB 64-5, the launch date of which draws ever […]
Loading Speed Test – Feedback Requested Please
We’ve had the dubious honor of being asked to leave our shared internet server. Turns out we were “hogging” something like 95% of the bandwidth. As a result, we now have a dedicated server, which Google Analytics tells us has cut the download times in half for SetSail visitors. So, we thought we’d try a […]
Wicked FPB 97 – Finalizing the Exterior Proportions
There are numerous structural considerations impacting what can and cannot be done with the exterior shape of a design like the FPB 97. The structural requirements of the window mullions, for example, have an enormous impact on the interior and exterior appearance. So too, the connection of the mullions to the roof structure above and […]
Sundeer 64
Sundeer 64 The layout for the Sundeer 64 series followed closely on what had worked so well with our own Sundeer 67. The aft engine room made one large saloon/galley/office area possible. The Sundeer 65 and the 56/60 were the only production boats we’ve done. We worked hard with TPI, who built them under our […]
Sundeer 67
Sundeer 67 The first Sundeer 67 took a different approach to the interior layout. Whereas the preceding three Deerfoot pilot house 72s (and 74) had mid-ship engine room, with Sundeer we went back to an aft engine space. This made a great deal of space in the middle of the boat available. In effect, we […]
