I play golf with the owner and founder of Eoncoat. A green ceramic primer that will prevent corrosion completely
Used by Chevron and BP to protect their assets offshore.
Ask for Tony Collins who lived on a 58 ft for 5 years
Have any interest in another trip to Ireland for my Dad's self-build. A 55 Bruce Roberts, built from the keel up over ten years. It was in MBY at one point
This yacht is amazing.
Agree 100 %! Just what I want!!
Hey, only just seen this message! Sounds fantastic! send me an email and we can sort something out: john@yacht-buoy.com
I don't understand why many commenters complain about the "bare" interior. The ship has all the comfort you need, except for plush cushions. This is a ship for an owner/skipper, not for some multi-millionaire who tells the crew where to sail while he shows off his wealth to some other rich guests. As for range... you can explore from Norway to Turkey. I know a couple with a similar ship. They are both still professionally active and don't have the time to cross the Atlantic. Their holidays are limited to a trip to Scandinavia, Ireland or Spain. And their no-nonsense attitude would appreciate functionality and easy maintenance over plush luxury. Surely there's more people like them so this ship will find a buyer allright.
Jan, I have to agree with you. If I could buy such a boat, I would want the interior to look just about like it is. One guy talks about "gutting" the interior. Gee, if you want a foo foo boat, just buy a foo foo boat.
I agree with you I much rather have a fully functional boat with plenty of room to get around then all the plushness that money could buy this ship would be easy to maintain and you wouldn't have to have a crew to do it! the only thing I would change is the layout and make the forward v-haul the master room by just moving the1st wall aft a bit then change the guest rooms into smaller single state rooms. then I would enclose the flybridge with removeable cloth/-------- windows. the blank spot is where my mind went blank for the word lol
A multi millionaire owner skipper. Still looks fitted out by the council.
@@waterboy8999 We spend every summer cruising around in our boat. Mind you, this trawler here is completely out of my league. But I see a ship that looks sturdy and practical. I have seen luxury yachts with huge windows and hardly any side decks. Even on a calm sea you risk your life if you go to the bow to drop the anchor. But the interior is pure luxury. There's only one reason to give a ship with no crew accommodation a luxurious interior... a ship this size is so expensive that a luxurious interior only makes it only 20% (my guess) more expensive. An analogy... if you want to show off, you may buy a posh Range Rover. If you want to explore you might prefer a basic looking Land Rover. Both are expensive cars ;-)
There is a huge divide between plush interiors and bare bones. I am not a fan of either extreme. However, if I will be spending months/years on a boat, then there are definitely some interior design decisions that can enhance the use and comfort of a boat. Cruising is 90% at anchor and 10% at sea, this boat leans to far to the 10%. By simply closing the gap, you can have a much more comfortable boat to live on without pretense of extravagance or plushness.
Several years ago, a friend and his wife, decided to call it quits on continued cruising. When I asked him why, he said.... "If my boat boat (Cal 39) was more like your boat (Sense 50) we wouldn't." This caught me be surprised. For an ocean passage, the Cal 39 is a beast. However, he recognized that the aspects that enhance comfort and safety at sea also had resulted in decrease comfort and livability while at anchor.
I have worked at sea for 45 years as a commercial fishermen, i would sell my house and buy this vessel in a heartbeat and live on board,pure heaven,if the engines are naturally aspirated with no turbos properly maintained they would last a lifetime, she is definitely a proper looking craft.
Agree! This is perfect for cruising Marlborough Sounds to Bay of Islands New Zealand😊
There speaks a man who know what he is looking at. A safe and practical boat with go anywhere properties.
What is not, is a "Stay-in-The-Marina-Gin-Palace" to entertain wussies.
Agree. Love the design of this boat. The engine room to die for and the smaller engines are great. I bet run at. Slowed speed and you get even more range
I’d love to own a trawler like this. I know it seems drab to some, but this feels like a ship to me, not some posh recreational yacht. This thing is built like a tank. Hearty, stable and strong. Something that gives you confidence in adverse conditions. It feels like the type of ship you’d use to go to Skull Island to find King Kong.
I absolutely agree! This is a proper ship and not a floating Beverly Hills mansion.
It is like when I drive a truck I want something that feels rugged. On a sea vessel, I want something that looks and feels sea worthy☺️
Yep. It’s a ship bought by a person with calluses on their hands. It’s awesome.
That has to be one of the cleanest engine rooms I’ve ever seen. This ship has everything I would need and nothing I wouldn’t. Perfect balance and built like a tank.
This would be an ideal live aboard, sightseeing, fishing and exploring vessel for my home waters of Alaska. It is such a common sense ship and it is obvious it was designed around the idea of "Form follows function".
True john and i'll bet you'll use that BBQ... Come on scotland, put a jacket on. ;)
@@larrbaII shooting Alaska you don't put a jacket on until icicles fall off your hair.. lol
this boat would be the ideal Alaska exploration vessel! Im waiting to see a Bristol Bay 32 footer converted to a "yacht"
Utilitarian sea going boat is what it is certainly no sunseeker interior design but it looks great 👍 for proper skipper
Watching aurora borealis off the coast of Norway or Alaska in quiet seas while having a cup of coffee on the fly bridge would be a dream come true.
To be honest, I really like the interior on this one. None of that over-the-top, wretched excess, pointless luxury. It's got everything you could realistically need without the unnecessary, overly plush rubbish.
As an ex Navy electrician having served on board a nuclear powered submarine...a ship or boat cannot be built tough enough...the all stainless galley is perfect for keeping it clean...the engineroom is military grade for accessibility, would like the twin 250's...55' is easy to handle...Blue is a great hull color...it's a Beauty!
This is a "Ship" built for a real Skipper. I'd feel confident taking her out for just about any adventure.
This lady lived aboard a boat for 20 years. Best living ever!
🙌
This yacht has the appeal of a tug, but is a trawler. Simply said she is gorgeous. I praise skillful engineering design that is functional, beautiful, tough while at sea, and a boat I would sell it all to live on it. WOW SIMPLY GORGEOUS. Thank you. This video cleared my head from daily distractions and replaced them with peace, calm and envy. God bless🇺🇸👍❤️Clearwater, Florida
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌 thanks for watching 🫡
Wow can’t get over this boats only 55 feet! The woodwork is stunning and love that the day head has a huge shower ! Very beautiful and versatile!
Perfect for the wife and I to spend out the rest of our time exploring Canada's Great Lakes. That would take at least ten years to complete but would be the highlight of our lives. What a great lifetime adventure that would be. Our grandkids would absolutely love the summers onboard and would likely not want to leave in the fall. Life is full of dreams and this is one of them.
It was really good to see "Sea Ranger " running at sea instead of moored up at the dockside John, the wheelhouse was stunning with everything you would ever need to steer this 60 tonne cruiser yacht safely in any sea state.
The engine room was spacious and easy to get around with an array of redundancy for anyone to sail this beautiful built boat, to the farthest shores imaginable.
A wonderful tour of a sturdy built cruising yacht that the owner Rob langton has achieved with "Sea Ranger" Hull number one!
Thanks, John 🙌 glad you enjoyed the video 👍🫡
@@YachtBuoy you did a really professional video John the drone footage was especially shot with amazing backdrops and aerial footage from above "Sea Ranger!"
Absolutely beautiful ship. Function over Flash. She packs a lot into her 55’ frame and that engine room is a work of art.
She’s true to her heritage as a functional trawler, and best of all she gives that rugged sense of security that a steel hull provides.
Love it! 👍🏻❤️🍻😎
As a former liveaboard boater, and also having fitted out 2 of my own liveaboard boats, I can confidently say; DAMN WHAT A LUSH VESSEL!.
Generous proportions, beautiful interior and apparently brilliant sea keeping. What a very very fine vessel
I like it! It’s small enough to captain and crew yourself, but big and stout enough to to handle the blue water. It doesn’t have any waisted space like a 300sqf bar or dining area on 3 different decks.
The only thing I would have done is have a day head at the aft of the boat.
This is exactly what I need. Top quality workmanship and design.
🙌
Sir , I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION ! PFffffffffffttt ..... WELL DONE ON PRESENTING THE SHIP - TO THE POINT - excellent
😂 Blackadder?
That is THE most trawler looking trawler yacht without actually being a trawler that I have ever seen! It is very no nonsense but also pretty basic. It looks like a working vessel more than a live aboard pleasure yacht. It really does look like a fishing vessel...
Aesthetics or something you change when you buy the boat then you can decorate it how you choose but it's perfectly built both everything that you need is there I don't know if they have a water purifier so you didn't have to go to the doctor to get water as much but I don't know if they do that on trawlers
It dose not look like your cocaine party boat ,,,
...which is one of its most wonderful attributes!
For a true seaman who does not need all the flash and bling. A tough and dependable boat in all conditions. Hull #2 I would go for twin 250 hp Caterpillar or Cummins. Definitely look at how much speed you gain and fuel use. You can always pull back on the throttles. Another great 📹 video.
You wouldn't gain much if any in speed and just burn more fuel.
That's not entirely correct. Any long-range cruising power vessel, especially for a family on a limited budgets, is best served with smaller but adequate economical, reliable and slow-revving engines. This vessel is already achieving hull speed or better, although one assumes it is lightly loaded for this video. I was pleased with how well it moved through the sea.
The only case for larger engines would be if one were pulling lines or nets or possibly finding that towed deployable stablilizer vanes were creating too much drag. We all know that if you gave the Queen Mary enough horsepower, you could launch it into space, so more speed is always possible, but the cost in fuel use, burn rate and hence reduced range or additional tankage and hence weight and space requirements and hence "balance" are always a complex equation that must be considered. Every tweak has a flow-on effect.
Anyway, I'd like to see some underwater lines for her and know the type of steel and protective coatings used. Corten or Lyten (added Cu-Cr) weathering steels are good rust-resistant steels which I have used, that cut cleanly with a torch and bend around the frames to nice fair lines, eliminating the all-too-often "hungry horse" look when low quality and/or badly-welded steel is used.
I've spent years winnowing down the options for a true long-distance passage-maker and still consider Nordhavn to have got the recipe pretty right, but they are obviously much more highly-priced. Fleming are good craft too but a but a bit too shallow in the draft for long distance open ocean work in poor weather, I feel, not to mention the cost.
This craft looks like a good alternative and while appearing more "basic"in its internal trim, is clean, serviceable and being steel, very robust against damage and easy to repair, but requires careful attention against rust. The clean interior walls helps keep an eye on that issue. Condensation behind interior panels, especially fitted or sprayed-on insulation, can be an issue with steel, too.
I'd perhaps like to see more fuel capacity for longer range while keeping the existing power plants. I still like the redundancy of twins and still find the Nordhavn standard setup of a single plus a wing-engine takes some careful consideration, and I feel it is a decision to be made subject to exactly what the vessel is to be used for and where it is sailing. Again, the additional fuel use of twins becomes part of that decision.
The Dutch-built vessel you discuss in another video on sale with De Valk Yacht Brokers ("Sirius") is the epitomy of some of the best sets of lines that come from that country's designers.
Thanks for the video. Sorry to have hogged your page, but this piqued my interest.
We live on the Great Lakes, look at a lot of boats. I've always thought about a converted working boat, but here it is, already done. Very similar to a local fisheries research trawler that I covet. Love the interior and layout, hate posh. Personalize to taste. Stainless galley is a real labor saver. Engine room is gorgeous, for safety you definitely want twins, and it has some other redundancies. Looks happy out on the water, and watching the captain spin it in harbor was impressive. Perfect. Slight issue of finances...!
had me at "Twin John Deere" 💚💚 love the simplicity and would fit in perfectly in the PNW for some cool Sailish Sea Cruising! thnx for the tour
Pretty cool! I'm more of a sailboat gal but I always enjoy seeing tours of other yachts to check out other owners' specs and preferences for the learning experience. Sea Ranger seems to be a sturdy no nonsense, go-anywhere ship, and sail or motor those are always my favorites!
In case anyone interested, she was designed by Macduff Ship Design in close conjunction with MMS owner.
The commercial style all stainless steel galley is certainly practical and looks very good.
This is perfect for the purpose intended. Cruising and exploring. Thank you for a great presentation.
Love the basic but comfortable explorer yachts so much more than the overdone fragile yachts
Omg I love this boat. Looks like it could survive anything the ocean throws at it.
Finally a yacht for use as a boat rather than phallic extensions for douche nozzles !! It is such a fine example of shipbuilding excellence.
Fab video, some stunning drone work there. Lovely vessel, really liked the honesty 0f it, often get put off with the facade of superyatchs. Often think I'd be scared to use one, but this just seems more approachable. Nice work John, thank you ! X
Excellent boat for her intended use. Tough and no nonsense. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching 🙌
Amazing!! The best boat review video I have seen. I really liked the slow pans of gear, and thorough walk through. My favorite bit was seeing her in action, especially the tight maneuvering. Absolutely my dream boat. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate that feedback 🙌 thanks for taking the time to watch it 🫡
As an ex US Navy blue water sailor I love the steel motor yachts, that’s what I would have if money was no object.
Agreed. Put a couple of 12.7 mm forward and aft, run the cables in conduits, paint it any choice of color as long as it's gray and your home 😄.
Very nice little ship 👌 A no nonsense setup and easy to maintain vessel. I would purchase it if financially able.
i will buy half you can buy the other ,,
@@lostinspace699 I've known many failed partnerships like that have sunk ship's .
I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect live aboard this this beauty 😍. My opinion this out does any other posh yacht ⛵.
Absolutely gorgeous boat, thanks for bringing us aboard to see this gem.
🌴😎🌴
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment :-) glad you enjoyed the video!
Solid, stout, and ready for exploring. Love its design and practicality. Engine space is fantastic! Wheelhouse is accommodating and commanding. Flybridge is solid and fully appointed. Cabins serve their purpose without foo-foo garnishes. I wish I had the $$$.
🫡🙌
I love this ship - so much has been packed in to a relatively small space. She looks both seaworthy and comfortable. While she was built for the rigors of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, I think she would be just as much at home in the South Pacific where I am.
A ship has to be 300 feet or better to be comfortable in winter conditions in the North Atlantic … somethings like a Flowers class frigate.
@@taggartlawfirm Those Corvettes were known by many who sailed on them as 'Submarines' , twas reckoned they spend more time under the water than above , what with their terrible handling and constant pitching and rolling 40 Degrees either side of upright, the wave spray and water was lofted up into Well Deck a midships the decks were swimming from that broaching activity as handling under heavy seas wasn't it's best suit. ... thinking the measurement was shorter than that LOA same being at 205 ft (62.5 m)
@@malachy1847 you may be right
An excellent vessel fit for purpose, I have been to that yard a few times and they do good work, reflected in what you see in the video, no nonsense vessel that if maintained should give little trouble for the next 50 years. I'll bet that fwd cabin is noisy though? would have preferred Cats personally and a hiab on the fwd deck for stores and launching boat, the one under cover looks a fixed davit for life raft. One big omission was the fresh water capacity, often as important as the fuel on boats that go long voyages.
Very nice indeed. If I had the opportunity to build one, I wouldn't do anything different, she's a beauty.
I lost my mother on Sept. 21, 2021. She was 66. I miss her so much. The ocean has been the only thing that has been able to free my mind of grief. My mother loved the ocean, and fishing. One of these days, I'll own a boat and name it after her. This one's beautiful, but highly likely to be out of the range of affordability for me. One day... one day...
Sorry for your loss. I know what you mean about the ocean being an emotional ‘healer’. Keep going after that boat 🛥️
This is the ship of my dreams. What a beauty. Take on all comers. Thank you much for sharing her with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh my ! When I built boats in my dreams, this is the boat that I end up at. If I could own the Queen Mary, I would pass, and happily take ownership of this. This boat is obviously built by someone who sails boats, instead of those awful glitzy power yacht’s that rarely leave port. Most power yachts are built by people who have a lot of money but haven’t really sailed. This boat would be a dream to travel the world with. You don’t have to hire a professional crew, you have access to places bigger boats can’t go, you can safely navigate big water in comfort....wow..what a boat.
I absolutely love the interior of this boat (ship), not opulent whatsoever, the galley kitchen looks so well designed, the best engine room ever .....and made in Great Britain , the very last thing it needs is some wanky interior designer. Nice work 👍👍👍
A BEAUTIFUL SHIP !!!!! WOW.....
Beautiful boat love to have it in Florida
A proper seaworthy little ship, it’s refreshing to see whilst we live in an era full of glitz and glamour. Only thing I would change in such a boat would be to have a proper oven and not such a high bridge but still, it’s a nice design complimented by the fact the exhaust funnels are mounted high as opposed to two protruding holes in her stern. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Outstanding no nonsense vessel. My dream boat here in Michigan on Lake Superior,Well done.
Excellent video.
Thanks! I appreciate it 🫡🙌
It's like Dr Who's Tardis!
Engine room is huge.
An absolutely beautiful boat.
Salute to those who BUILT HER...👍💜👍
I will never be able to afford any type of boat for my family, but of all the lavish yacht videos i have seen, this is amazing to me. I would rather have a vessel like this. She is beautiful and amazing. In the short video i had to snap myself out of it because i was dreaming of my family on a sunset cruise. Great job with this vessel!
Reminds me of Naval vessels I’ve served on. I’d take this in a heartbeat. Thing is SWEET!
⚓️ 🫡
That's a gorgeous boat.
A fine boat. Seems very reasonable what i saw. Quality build. Price is the key.
I am loving that the boat it look a proper sea goer with a great layout luv the galley and the wheel house I wud feel safe on that in a storm Nice one dude 🙂🇬🇧✌️
beautiful craft indeed!
Definitely my kind of boat. All the practicality without any of the frivoloties found on a lot of gin palaces. Jimmy
If only I had the money it's absolutely fantastic love the design
That little boat is beautiful, perfect to sail the Caribbean islands
I love her style ❤️
Absolute beauty..My late father would have loved it.
I love serious boats like that.
Beautiful.
I love these practical yachts
I am in maritime Canada. In North Atlantic waters. You show a beautiful trawler vessel impressive for sure. We have many such types here but I really like this one. Tks for the vid & your work to show us .
I love it, perfect for Alaska fishing.
Want one, this is a run away and escape end of the World boat.. brilliant.
What a beauty
There’s some marine grease with fibers in it . Works great with stuffing boxes. I would swap out motors and clutches swing them out little holes. Nice hull design. Tuff. Comfortable.
I love the utilitarian fitting out of this vessel, all too often I'm disappointed by the overly opulent designs that seem to be the norm.
Very impressive tour. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment 🙌
we had the adjacent berth for a couple of months or so; whilst Sea Ranger does provide some shelter, as you say, she also screens the mobile signal somewhat!!
Love it. It is like a more beautiful and smaller version of the ships I work on. Love the redundency. I don't know if I can justify purchaseing one because I sail vessels like this for a living so not sure I want to do it on my off time, but I really appreciate the design. I am very tempted as a live aboard.
Go for it!
Ahh yeah finally a boat that is not such a mediteranian bling bling yacht. This boat serious and for serious weather. That is what I would buy although I would change some details. I absolutely share the idea of a boat, the owners have. By the way: I'd use this boat for norway coast and the baltic sea, the north.
Beautiful craft.
Great video, thanks, and an excellent explorer vessel.
Thanks for watching 🙌 glad you enjoyed the video 🫡
Beautiful Ship.
Outstanding!
The interior appears to be minimal upkeep. The engine room looks as big as some of the boats I have viewed. I really like the layout.
Could not agree more!!!
Wonderful honesty of purpose. No gold plated tat.
I love this boat!, not over the top posh, just right, spaciouse and a beutiful engine room to boot!, this boat eould be ideal to cruise the great lakes! And i have subscribed!
Beautiful
What a lovely little ship very Bering like
Nicely done John! I shared it on my channel for you too last night, as I know many of my subscribers enjoy a good trawler video as well 🤠
Thanks for sharing 🙌🫡 I appreciate it 👍
One of the finest boats in the local Marina.
: That's a beauty of a boat. Holy moly.
Wow. Just wow.
This vessel is a prime example of how true beauty lies in simplicity and function--so many yachts are little more than playthings for the rich and famous, reduced to little more than party barges that look more like floating fruit machines than anything else. Having said that, the "fancy stuff" is implemented where it counts, such as in the heated floors / towel racks in the baths. (Only down side there: who would want to leave? ;D ) Last but not least, the brightwork is absolutely beautiful, in craftsmanship and understatement.
Side comment, on the video itself: Bravo Zulu! 👍 Excellent drone shots (can't imagine what that would have cost, in the pre-drone days).
(From a new subscriber.)
Just looking at it give my day a sense of "adventure", I wish I could...
Beautiful!😘
Trawlers seem like a much safer design for traversing super-rough seas, unlike luxury yachts -- especially a 500 foot long one ( Google says the largest one is 540 feet).
Beautiful build a true all weather cruiser
This trawler almost looks like a commercial vessel, for example a port authorities ship, or something like that.
It is quite bare and needs a lot of personalization, just to make it miry cozy.
But I do like its simplistic appearance.
Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching 🙌
Yes well when you buy something like you do a house you personalize it whoever owned the boat took all their personal belongings out and all the personalization out as well that is for the next owner to do it's a beautiful vessel
I’m ready to move in. Love it.
What a beautiful Monster! Never seen such a beauty, my dream!
Thank You so much! Subscribed😉👍
Thanks for subscribing!
i really like the dry exhaust and i assume keel cooling. seawater kills engines that should last thousands of hours more before their time. love the steel hull, for those that don't like the easy clean plain interior i'm sure that a million or two pounds can solve this.
I would finish the hard top on fly bridge so it covers the whole bridge, put a track on hard top for sides and rear, install full front venting windows that go from visor to hard top then get high viz windows to put in slide and fasten to boat to fully enclose. It won’t be as toasty as the inside but still bearable and give you room to put a few chairs and couch up there
Insanely good and thorough presentation👍
Thanks! I appreciate it
Beautiful craftsmanship! Someday...👍👍👍
