This boat is full of surprises. I love the solar! Beautiful woodwork and tons of space to expand. The kitchen is surprisingly capable for long trips, love the cold storage. My favorite part was the pilot house. I often hate pilot houses. My ideal has great visibility, a good chart table, a desk, and a watch berth. Forget the huge booths for the 'owner', and the windows you can't see out of. This has all that besides the berth, which could be added since the ceiling is so high. The first thing I thought about that engine room was needs flooring, lol! I'd break my ankle in there, especially in rougher seas. Great walkthrough!
Wow! A little quirky, but I like it! I would be proud to own her, and live aboard! Maybe keep a small condo ashore, just for my snail mail and government contact requirements . I love that low profile for a 24 metre vessel, too. Very nice! Cheers!
Thank you for walk through. What a beautiful wonderful vessel. I actually Like the None decking in Engine Room, Really good for looking to bulge. just a great vessel.
This is a very nice sea boat although the interior is some what dated & could use some refit. Personally, i like it the way it is but thats my petsonal opinion. The size is just right for this trawler& would be economical to operate as well. I like this boat very much. Very heavily built. Thankyou for a well done tour& and excellent information presented.
She a nice traditional boat ,just needs a the paint lightened up on the interior and a few home touches ,I would definitely look at opening up the kitchen to the bridge .like some off the berring yaghts. But a nice boat
Another great detailed tour, which I liked very much. This is an interesting boat with lots of potential. The name is ace too! At 9 knots, I make it app 1,500 nm range with some reserve. It's nice enough as is, but if you were to upgrade and refit to bring it up to the standards we're accustomed to seeing from reputable trawler builders, you can easily spend 50% of the asking price on top and it could take up to 1 year from start to finish, if you can actually find a refitter not fully booked already. It makes you think 🤔
It would be useful to know a bit about where and when it was built, the design philosophy, what type of voyages it was intended for, etc. Good video overall.
Love the outside profile but what keeps the cabinetry from spilling everything out in a seaway? I think with a major interior refit it would be magnificent.
Seems to wallow/ plow through the waves of a calm sea. I can imagine the waves coming over the bow on a rough sea. Simple, low cost fit up. Pricing should be quite cheap.
I feel that the access to the forward crew quarters is not very "adverse-weather-proof". That hatch could easily get damaged first of all. You cannot secure it from the outside nor from the inside otherwise you would lock somebody in or out. And just the thought of trying to get out of there during bad weather.......You cannot see if it is safe to open it from the inside. Also, if there is just the slightest oil leak in the engine room, you cannot walk around there anymore since you would be sliding in the oil. Goes for soapy water as well. That is what an engine room bilge under the floor plating is all about. Not sure what the louvered vents are for that seem to be located in the portside of the superstructure low on the deck. Might cause problems with water ingress.
Lots of negative comments, but at just under 1 million Euros, full steel, this is a very attractive proposition. A similar sized GRP Nordhavn would go for three times this price...
Definitly not a boat you want to get caught in heavy seas. The door into the Saloon would get smashed like a tooth pick if it got hit by green water. I didnt notice a latch on the crew quarters hatch?
Adding stabilizers / new air conditioning system and even large generator will cost at Max 200 k Still a great deal, and nothing said about negutiating the asking price...
Agree. No space for an inside dining table, it would consume that nice salon. Great tour, interesting yacht. A lot of refit needed, big ticket is adding stabilization. Thanks for the tour.
My videos are firstly done for buyers... As a buyer, you need detailed information. All my videos has chapters (you will find them at the video description) by clicking a chapter you can skip from one part of the video to the other.
I think I'd keep the engine room flooring as it is. Would be easy to fabricate some portable flooring for when working in the one spot for extended periods, but great to have the advantage of that extra depth/height for more complex procedures
This boat has excellent “bones” and seems to have been operated by a real yachtsman because the engineering and electronics look in great shape. With the low centre of gravity, it seems an ideal candidate for the installation of gyro stabilization. Even with another million dollars in investment, it would be a great value IMHO.
It seems like it was built for a commercial purpose. No stabilization system? Why is it in the Med? It seems like part utility, part pleasure. But not enough of either to make it valuable
Was built as a costume project for her present owner. Quite surprising how stable this Trawler is without stabilizers. Adding fin stabilizers will cost about 150 k
@@YachtMarineBrokerage thanks for replying. It's a nice boat, but no stabilizers is a red flag. Makes me think: did they go cheap? Where else did they go cheap?Is it a safe boat? If they are building a yacht, why not do it right and get a stabilizing system when building it. More expensive now as refit
@@sean4839 How many steel yachts out there have stabilisers? There is no real point to them when the gross tonnage is significantly higher than GRP. Genuinely don't consider that a red flag at all.
@@DrClumber Theoretically, that is a formula that works - on land. 6-10 foot seas and stabilizers make a dramatic difference. I've been on many steel hulls over years. All had zero speed. In college, worked a fishing trawler, but luxury yachts? All of them. Not your experience?
@@sean4839 My family has a background in commercial shrimp trawling in the Netherlands. Many of these trawlers are a similar length to this and cope fine in the North Sea. I'm sure you'll agree that the North Sea is a bit rougher than the Eastern Med. :) Point remains that for a million euros this is a very attractive package, as @YMB Yachting pointed out - retro fitting this sort of ship is achievable for those that don't have sea legs and let's be honest, if you're in the market for a million euro boat, you will want to retrofit it to your specs regardless.
