Fast and Efficient Ocean Crossing Yacht Design | Tradewind Cruising Speed on FPB 78 Cochise

When Speed and Distance Are Critical - FPB 781 Cochise Crossing Oceans At Twice Trawler Speed

Seeing is believing. We prefer to let the performance of our yachts speak for themselves. In this video we are going to turn FPB 78 Cochise loose - and show you both speed and range are possible with trade wind like conditions.

You have seen 4700 nm upwind against the trades at 10 knots in "The Way Back-Fiji to Panama." The design details necessary for comfortable and safe upwind passages in "The Way to Weather." How to handle dangerous conditions upwind and down in "Dealing with Extreme Sea States." Now watch Cochise fly down the waves, with ocean-crossing range, at twice or more the speed of conventional long range yachts with virtually no motion.

At the end of the video Steve and Linda Dashew will share preparation and techniques they use to get the best performance out of their yachts.
