a gale ?? that's what we Orcaidans call a swell and the windows are too broad a right strong gale could easily put one or few of them in causing all sorts of problems ..

You might want to read their page about glazing first before coming that that conclusion; http://dashewoffshore.com/glazing_decision.asp

Thanks.
Amazing boats. I'd love to see one in real life.

Well my friend Peter Watson and his crew have manage to get his FPB 64 'Grey Wolf' back to Guernsey from Auckland NZ. A trip of 12,500 miles, not bad going for a small motoryacht.

There are various blogs about the trip on the 'net.
