      The price isn't bad. Though there are more modern boats that I would take over this one. You can find modern examples which still offer tremendous range (though perhaps not 5k miles) while being faster and which also offer better/more spacious interior layouts and engine rooms that aren't designed for 'little people'. Of course they also have higher price tags. I'd have to pass on this one.

    I must admit to having one hell of a soft spot for off-shore-capable "little ships". This is definately a very nice example of the breed. I really like the fact that they managed to squeeze in four seemingly comfortable single berths in addition to the owners cabin on a boat like this thats "only" 50 feet. Of course, bunk beds might be a tad off-putting for the older, less mobile, potential guests, but thats not nesseserly a bad thing depending on ones relationship with the in-laws.... :D
    I can definately see myself selling the house and living onboard something like this when I retire and have more time to cruise around at 5 knots. (not that the cruising speed 7,5 on my current boat is particularly fast either :) )

    • @henryostman5740
      @henryostman5740 Před 2 lety +1

      I wonder. A lot of smaller workboats built this way have twin keels with two mains. Each main would have less HP than the single used here but they could probably get the boat going a knot or two faster than this 'wing' engine without needing the rudder as much to keep things lined up. With the higher HP on the 'spare' main you can run a big alternator making most all of your power needs as well. Two identical mains would reduce the spares inventory and you only need to know how to service one type of engine. That Cat engine is great but any serious issues would need a qualified CAT mechanic, engines like the John Deere are designed to be serviced by farmers, rugged but simple. I have more than a little experience running real ships with only one screw turning and they can be as nasty as twin engine aircraft under the same situation.

    • @EverydayProjects
      @EverydayProjects Před 2 lety

      @@henryostman5740 Good point on only having to know one type of engine if twins were installed. I think the wing engine idea has its merits to, even if a completely different system. Considering it is a "get me home" engine, it would probably have much fewer operational hours on it and thus be reliable when needed. Also, it takes up less space in a smaller vessel as compared to twin engines of a larger size. Also significant is that the wing engine has its own driveshaft and propeller that can come into play if there is damage to the main shafting and prop. It would be a fuel miser too as compared to twins (plus if twins were installed you'd want to carry more fuel probably resulting in a lessening of cabin or other space onboard). Despite some drawbacks like overhaul knowledge and spare parts I am still a fan. There is nothing quite so reassuring as a second, independent system ready to go--especially offshore. Nick has brought us another fantastic tour, as always!

      @panosp94 Před 4 lety

      By the way...along the lines of this boat, have you ever had that chance to review the Elling E6? It’s not as big, but boy does it pack some great features for the price. And a Class A1 boat as well....so ready for some serious traveling. Would love to have your views on it sometime. Cheers and many thanks ...

    After watching this video I started calculating my journey to Brisbane Australia. I realized it would be possible to make this trip with the proper stopping points with plenty of fuel to spare in case we ran into issues on the way...

    Elegant tug boat.
    Can't remember the kids-TV-type stuff I watched as a kid that always had very cute little tug boats that I always loved watching.

    Absolutely loved it!! I've often wondered how these boats guard against RUST and wow 14 anodes does it also have a galvanic isolator fitted for when moored up near other steel boats. Serious little boat for the true enthusiast.

    That mirror finish navy blue on the hull looks superb and 5000m range at 5 knts...amazing.

    I really love the deep run sea faring boats.. a lot of thought going into traversing long stretches of the globe.. clever ways to deal with survivable utility yet squeezing technology to achieve comfort in challenging conditions. A marvelous vessel.

    @PastorwithoutaPulpit Před 2 lety +1

    What an amazing little ship.It's obvious from what I saw that she's been very well taken care of and hides her age wonderfully. This is something that is rare in today's world and I say that because of her asking price. To me should would be worth every penny and I doubt I would even try to haggle on asking her price with the owner. Truly magnificent little ship as you say and it fits...
    Thank you for the awesome tour...

      I have seen a number of videos of Dutch working boats dating back to before me and then some and they are still working. Some originally had steam engines generally converted to diesel way back when, and the Dutch diesels last forever as well. What I'm getting at is that a tough steel hull, a stout industrial engine, and with reasonable maintenance, this sort of vessel should last forever in yacht service, it may not look fashionable but so what?

    I much prefer this traditional interior to the luxury yachts. It actually feels like you're on a boat and not a hotel.

  • @MrWIbackpacker
    @MrWIbackpacker Před 4 lety +3

    Far and away my favorite style of boat. I would charter one of the big sports cruisers, but to own... I’d want a long range expedition style cruiser.

    what immaculate condition.! so nice to see a boat thats been well looked after . the only negative for me is lack of direct access into the saloon area from the rear deck

    What a beautiful wood on the interior ! And what a bargain!! It is a bit 90s inside, but I think that adds a cool nostalgia factor !
