This episode is conclusion of my trip to Friesland, Netherlands to explore a small yacht and get some real world cruising feedback to inform my decisions on my pocket trawler build. What's it like on a small cruising yacht? Could this Dutch steel trawler be the boat for me? How small is too small? Join me over the next three episodes as I try to answer these questions and more.
Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs.

I have been working on my 13 whaler restoration for 4 years and I get the same thing. “When are you going to be done???”. I agree it’s all part of the journey. And having pride in your work.

You should look at a Wallas diesel cooker,looks like a induction cooker. Works great cost a few bucks but it is worth it

I will be discussing the galley options when I get to the galley build. You're going to love it

Excellent advise and tips. Try out a lot of boats is great advise. Boat shows are great as well to see a lot of boats in a short time.

Sometimes it takes a while, Boatbuilding isn't the only thing we do. I will be splashing my Thompson in the spring, 6 years after starting.

Thanks Dave. Fantastic! Be sure to send pictures so we can all celebrate. I will shout out to you in a video if you can send me some footage or a photos 😁👍👍

If opting for only one side thruster my choice would be for a bow thruster. You can steer the stern by using the propeller thrust even when reversing. Sort bursts in ahead with the rudder hard over will change the heading while maintaining way in reverse. It takes a bit of practice, pick a quiet spot.

@motorcityboatwerks 9 месяцев назад

😁👍 conventional wisdom points to the bow thruster but there’s lots of reasons to consider the aft thruster too. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss my thruster episode

Great video. Regarding tip #5 on electronics, I work on private/business jets with cockpits full of the latest and greatest pilot BS, and without fail every airplane that comes in has a pair of ipads in the cockpit that the pilots would rather use than all the bells and whistles built into the damn thing. 😀 So I would imagine that there is more than likely an app that can perform almost any task you're after without being married to a built in glass cockpit that will be out of date before you ever get on the water.

Thank you for the comment. I think these are great lessons and it’s comforting to know you’re seeing same results in different fields. 😁👍

As a Dutchie, I gotta correct you. That's not Amsterdam, Amsterdam is further to the south. The city you point out is called Den Helder. Love your content though! Glad to hear you enjoyed our country!

@motorcityboatwerks 6 месяцев назад

Excellent Job! 😁As you may know every episode I intentionally put it in a mistake or two to see who is paying attention. And this episode you win Most-Best-Observant-Viewer🐙Thank you for your support. Be sure to like and subscribe 👍😁

@jobo12345689 6 месяцев назад

@@motorcityboatwerks Hahah great stuff. It's also a common joke over here that Americans always think everything in the Netherlands is close to Amsterdam (an issue in scope of the two countries), so it got a good chuckle out of me.

@motorcityboatwerks 6 месяцев назад

Fine Dutch Humor! 😂🤣

@charles.neuman18 7 месяцев назад

I was going to ask about speed. So, max 6 kts. What about fuel consumption? This is diesel? About how many gallons per hour at cruising speed?

@motorcityboatwerks 7 месяцев назад

Less than 1 gal

Boat and RV companies and picnic supply companies think people shrink down when they go on vacation. Recently however, groundbreaking discoveries have proven that in reality, not so much. My wallet shrinks however. That DOES happen.
