FPB 78 #1 launched in June 2016 and completed 11,400 nautical miles in her first 6 months, which including trials saw her cruise from her build yard in Whangarei to Fort Lauderdale via the Panama Canal. She has exceeded expectation with her energy efficiency, sea keeping and comfortable motion at sea. FPB 78 #2 GREY WOLF II is now cruising in the southern hemisphere, it is coded to MCA category 0, and FPB 78 #3 launches for trials shortly.
The FPB 78 is the fourth design in this series, fine-tuned by over 100,000 miles of open ocean FPB experience, feedback by our owners, and a huge effort by the FPB team around the world from the UK, to New Zealand, to North America.
