or sail!

No wing engine. I don’t understand that part

Great point!

This is how all boats should be

Yes, I am in that category and would love a boat like this!

🙌🫡

out of curiosity, where in NL is the 65 foot being built?

@@ronalda239 She is being build by Aluboot in Hindeloopen.

@@dennisharjamaa4987 thanks!

I didn't know FPB made so many boats, i bet CircaMarine built them, didn't they? I really would love to see a FPB 130ft sailing and surfing. But this LRC is also a dream boat.

I could imagine myself in that boat. But no "Ocean crossings", just as a place to spend time in the summer. Big barbecue in the back, some nice sunbathing in the front and toys/stuff on the roof. Love the fact that it is not "ruined" with a flybridge, like the sedan-look, Linssen-yachts would be another "dreamboat"...

@@johanneslaxell6641 - You are correct, this boat would make an excellent coastal cruiser with 3'1" of draft and a low air draft. Add a large lithium house bank and a gen set and this boat would be a pleasure to spend time on at anchor. The versatility of this boat is a big part in making it such a nice design. A perfect boat to explore the east coast of North America, Chesapeake Bay in the Summer and the Bahama's in the winter would be excellent terms of usage for this boat.

...yes ...you.can..by swimming:ppp

For a couple to buy this to burn oil is ecocide, they belong in an asylum or jail.

@@yellowgreen5229 - Wow, you must be a member of the Nazi Yacht Club.

Agreed!

It’s fine you are a Nervous motor boater I’m guessing

@@DOUBLEDEFENSE if one engine fails and breaks down during cruise, at least you have a spare one to get safely to closest land. If you have one engine and it breaks down, basically, you're left there to die, especially during bad weather in the ocean and no radio signal.

🤣🤣🤣

You can link a hydraulic "motor" to the shaft and use the generator as a backup engine. Wesmar and Stella are two options

I was a commercial fisherman for 45 years and only got towed home twice because of engine failure. We dropped a valve once, probably my fault as we were due to replace the engine and I tried to keep it going to the end of our season. The other we broke a timing chain on my gardener engine at about 70,000 hours. If you keep up the maintenance and don’t push a failing engine for longer than you should marine diesels are very reliable.

💯% I love Sydney BTW. I once sailed from Sydney to Bermagui on a boat that was built as a replica of the 1798 sloop ‘Norfolk’

Sounds great!

What is a “wind dragon”? My googling has only found sailboats w that name.

@@humbertojimenez3475 google "Wingit Kite-Boat-Systems"

Go for it!

🙌

If more than just two owners are sleeping onboard, everyone else has to go past them in bed to get to the head... wonderful!

Give the guests a bucket

Yeah the boat is great but those are two very large issues. Very odd

Just a little color here and there would help. Doesn't have to be much.

It's aluminum you can just paint it. You've got room aboard the vessels for a spare engine and enough parts to rebuild the other if it breaks

It would suit a dentist.

No no no. John sez dark colors are oppressive.

There is a twin prop/skeg one in existence now. I agree no way you can cross an ocean on 1 engine.

@@N330AA You can cross with a single engine. It's been done countless times over the years. Many large ships are single shaft/engine.

thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback re the video 🙌 I appreciate it 👍

why? what would be your first choice then?

@@gtrfuyen2924 He thinks catamarans actually are boats...

she is extremely economical. thanks for watching 🙌

Why not add a 50 hp outboard dingy and a way to hook it up on the back of the big boat in case of emergency.

@@sparkyguitar0058 Wouldnt this towing reduce the range caused by a considerable drag? Even tho it is a great idea.

@@itinensanzen The outboard and skiff would be on deck and a crane does the work. Even more today's kinda thing a 200 hp electric motor as the back up system. Recharge panels on top for easier big power. Lighter weight than even a small diesel motor. Even though that don't mean much on 1 of these trawler types.

Your got plenty of room to carry a spare!!!

I appreciate that!

Thanks for watching 🙌 and thanks for leaving a comment too 👍 Watch this space as I might be on board this boat in the not too distant future 🌊🌊🌊🌊

@@YachtBuoy Bought lottery ticket for $32, won $26... And can you translate that emoji? :)

Maybe u wont need to win the lottery? But alas, you’ll never know for certain, because apparently, the price of this boat, and all boats shown on this site, are a national secret!! Good luck as u now go on an internet easter egg hunt looking for the price, instead of it just being included in print. If u listen carefully, it is mentioned once, very quickly, at the very end…

You mean, "house pests"? (Kinky Friedman). Better to not have the space, I feel.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for watching 🙌

You could literally just carry an extra engine since it's so small.

Believe it or not a lot of comercial boats and ships have 1 engine . Modern Diesel engines are incredibly reliable . Be sure to have CLEAN fuel ,air filters and some other minor maintanance , they can last for many years

@@henrycarlson7514 Those commercial boats generally have a skilled engineer on board to make repairs should something go wrong.

One could always install a hydraulic emergency motor to run off the generator

Yeah, it makes it much less attractive as a vessel that goes off the beaten path. I'd feel more comfortable with a motor sailer anyway, orbjustvsail with a decent auxiliary, rather than be so dependant on fuel. This would be more appropriate as an inland cruiser.

@@henrycarlson7514 That doesn't make it a good idea. Those ships operate on well known routes, where assistance is readily available, and cost is their number one concern - if they lose a ship, Lloyd's picks up the tab. I served on a single screw frigate once upon a time. The small size was nice in that we made liberty calls in places bigger ships couldn't go, as their crew size would overwhelm the local population. We still had to draw lots for who got to go ashore on one island we stopped at. Liberty party was limited to 25 people, as the island population was only 200 or so. We were the smallest navy ship allowed to independent steam. That was the ship I made my dream Westpac on in the early 80's. We spent over 2 months down south, hitting NZ and both coasts of Aus, rarely being at sea more than two or three days. It was a 'Show the Flag' tour. Some of the port calls became rather emotional when we hit small towns that hadn't seen a US service member since Viet Nam, and WWII veterans told tales of how America saved them from the Japanese. In those towns, our money was no good in the pubs.

Thanks for liking

No it’s fine maintain it and it’s better than paying for two motors

Proper maintenance, and you have no worries.

A lot of newer MVs come inky with one engine or like the Elling E6 with only a very small emergency engine.

Really big oars...

NORDHAVN.....PROBLEM SOLVED...

yes

Bitte sehr!

Automatic pilot.

Yes, if the crew includes someone with sound mechanical skills with available spares.

I don't know, does your single engine car drive cross country reliably?

​@@joshlower1not always!

Yes indeed!

No, you'd use the autopilot and sit anywhere you like. On my last boat using the AP, we'd sit on the settee during the day and one one or the other of the pilothouse door sills (with a cushion). Excellent visibility this way (any glass seems to reduce vision at night).

thanks 🙌 I appreciate it 👍

It takes 792 gallons of diesel. Diesel its 5 bucks a gallon or so. It would cost just around 4000 bucks.

@@joshlower1 Germany - 792 gallons = 5700€ =6.081 USD

Si vous connaissez des bonnes prières, c'est le moment.

Nice jails you have in your country)))

thàt roght

I'm capable of piloting, but I bring a family of five with me, plus two others who visit from time to turn time. This doesn't work terribly well for anyone with a family, either.

60ft sailing boat, might be hard for that budget, but for 30-40 day passage you are probably going to save about 5k in fuel. 7kts avg is fairly doable in 50ft sailing boats. But then not everyone knows or wants to know how to sail.

I have dabbled in both motor and sail and for me it's the peace of mind knowing that I can set in a course and heading and then that's it. I don't have to worry about wind (or lack thereof) and during a crossing I can stay dry without having to worry about going on deck to sort out the rigging. Plus, instead of dreading zero wind conditions you can fully embrace them :-) But, I guess it is down to personal preferences etc

@@YachtBuoy And the reality is that few yachts can maintain 7kn 24/7. This means maintaining a schedule is possible-well, more than with a yacht.

Glad you liked the video :-) Thanks for watching!
