I was wondering what the possibilities of placing a Pilothouse like the one on the FBP 112 on the FBP 64? Placing it forward in line with the lower house windows and then having a “porch” on the aft section.
Hi Chrisopher:
We looked at a pilot house configuration in the original conceptual work for the FPB […]
At the suggestion of a SetSail visitor we took of yesterday afternoon to have a look at Whiskey Creek.
It is an almost pristine wilderness a few minutes dinghy ride from where WInd Horse is anchored. And if you get lucky, there are some wonderful critters to observe.
These include cruisers who would rather be off a […]
When we were working on the design of Wind Horse Steve Davis suggested a flying bridge enclosure. At the time we could not see the need, thinking we’d simply move to the great room if conditions warranted more protection. Six years and 50,000 miles later we understand the wisdom of his suggestion.
When the FPB 64 […]

We have been using the latest iteration of Coastal Explorer this spring. This is a clean, easy to use, and quite stable nav program.
Contrary to its name, you can use this program anywhere. We used it last year in Europe and then for the passage back to the States. The screen shot shows the layout […]
We’ve taken a temporary hiatus from the business of yachting to enjoy hanging out with daughter Elyse, husband Todd, along with Emma and Ian (shown above).
If you spend much time in this part of the world a mud trail will become common, even with five foot/1.5m draft. This is ideal for keeping the props clean, […]
A brief compilation of cruising in the Florida Cays with the grandkids, Emma and Ian, and their parents aboard Wind Horse. Photos are by dad, Todd Beveridge. Use the arrow bottom right to start the slide show. The letter “F” brings up a full screen display.
If you are running a Windows computer you may have encountered crazy mouse syndrome. This occurs when the computer thinks the GPS signal is a serial mouse. Here is how we have dealt with this in the past:
Turn off the GPS t o stop the uncontrolled mouse activity.

We are hanging out with family in the Florida Cays. Lots of photo ops, and photographers to take advantage. To wit, the photo above by Ian Beveridge, age eight.
Wind Horse is anchored off a small island on the west side of Marathon, and prof shooter Todd Beveridge, Ian, and Emma were out early this morning […]
If the sea trial photo above has you wondering how the FPB 64 handles heavy weather – say seas three times this size and 30 to 40 knots of wind – we have a couple of e-mails from Pete Rossin aboard Iron Lady, to sate your curiosity. Pete and Debbie, and crew Steve, are on […]
