Incredible onboard video from nine external cameras running a breaking bar with 10 foot waves and caught in 20'+ standing waves in the Gulf Stream the FPB 78 is put through two extreme tests. Steve Dashew explains what is happening from a design and handling standpoint.
Included in the video are trim, steering and powering settings as well as suggested techniques for dealing with these extreme conditions. Note, the conditions shown are potentially dangerous, and not recommended if they can be avoided.

"This video has gone long enough", quite to the contrary. We need a lot more videos of a longer duration. Cheers

I just spent two days at FLIBS and it solidified my feelings about how a yacht should be; functional, practical and efficient. If I had the money I my first choice would be a FPB 64 and my second choice would be an Artnautica LRC 58. Great video.

Nice analysis from a expert yacht builder !

@BullyHayes1977 4 года назад

Surfski riders and designers understand all about the importance of the stern being able to depress into the wave behind to enable controlled surfing

Wow terrific boat and handling

@DB.KOOPER 4 года назад

Very cool. You're running the rig like a surfboard with the tail/stern submerged for the greater ruddering effect and propulsion from the wave pushing you down the face and _OUT_ of the wave instead of up and over the crest/falls pushing the tail around. Very cool to see it described and demonstrated by such a vessel.

Love the video. Thanks for the detailed explanation and demo. Other than the fuel bill it's an explores dream boat.

This ships is very fuel efficient

This has turned me into a person who now wants to cross the ocean..... or at least go surf some seas in heavy winds 😊

Me too...

@samuelcarpenter4576 4 года назад

Three times I've been to that pass and never seen waves like that, but that current does whip!

i see much simularities in the hull shapes of the old WWII torpedo boats

Nice boat, excellent seamanship.

Wow!

This is about a force 5.

Running up toward the Bay of Islands the breeze guilt into the 50s in the gusts, blowing a steady 40 or a touch more at the end. And it was not the size of the waves but their steepness that made things interesting.

05:06 Im curious to know if you had a slow boat say 5kts max would you deploy a drogue or sea anchor out the back?

@DashewOffshore 4 года назад

The answer is yes. For a detailed discussion pick up a copy of Surviving the Storm (available as a free download at SetSail.com)

This vessel appears to be the ultimate cruising yacht ever. The most well thought-through design I've ever heard of. Well done!

@johnboyf-15vet51 3 года назад

Amazing video. I have a Grand Banks 42 and I would not even try to attempt this. The FPB is an amazing design.

@manos3790 4 года назад

Now that's a vessel built for purpose. Is the opening scene when the stern is swamped under also known as a following sea? Fantastic tuition, all the same.

@craftgunner 4 года назад

Can we please just have hours of this? Thanks.

@RogerWilco1 4 года назад

I thought these were no longer being built?

@Luzifer so who is then?

@010203040506073 4 года назад

remember you have to look through that little hole in front to aim the boat into the ocean

@adamh.971 4 года назад

Great boat, and I enjoy your videos.

You are getting sleepy......let the waves wash over you....

@N330AA 4 года назад

That is intereting about the height of the bathing platform, i thought to get a balance boat was more about waterplane than buoyancy.

@BullyHayes1977 4 года назад

9:17 - dorade vent+box is able to handle striking water like this okay?

@frankmoore3598 4 года назад

Who would want anything else? Wouldnt see any other yacht this size even trying seas like that.

@Vcubed1 4 года назад

My experience is on sailboats with deep keels. What I don't understand about motor yachts is they seem to be shallow-draft, top heavy disasters waiting to happen. Look at all that stuff above the deck on your boat! But they do fine. Why?

@aceeastman7261 4 года назад

Proper design, ie; center of gravity is below center of buoyancy, and form stability

@NeilBraun 4 года назад

It's funny reading your comment, my first thoughts watching this video was that this boat performs very much like my sailboat. She's a Cape Dory 25 and surfing large waves at ten and more knots is intensely exhilarating. Having water come over the stern has caused problems, but those are solvable and avoidable. Thank you, you helped clear up some things I was curious about.

@DashewOffshore 4 года назад

It is the result of a low center of gravity, coupled with a great deal of form stability when heeled. The FPB 78s have a greater range of positive stability (inverted!) than any of our sailing yachts.
