The 90 hp engine is very compact. I would literally carry an entire spare drivetrain if I were crossing an ocean. Very cool little ship.
or sail!
No wing engine. I don’t understand that part
I would want two engines half that size.
I know this seems silly, but thank you for including the feet with the meters. I watch these to relax, not to do measurement conversions in my head. Lol. Great video, thank you!
I truely must be a nervous sailor. I wouldn't cross my bathtub with one engine, let alone an ocean. Still, I like this sleek wave cutting bow design.
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 the dutch stile of boatbuilding :) A wonderful boat !
I would add a windgenerator, more solarpanels combined with a second electrical motor... and a winddragon, when sailing half wind or from `behind`.
Sounds great!
What is a “wind dragon”? My googling has only found sailboats w that name.
@@humbertojimenez3475 google "Wingit Kite-Boat-Systems"
I've been out of boating for decades...but this one could tempt me back into it.😎
Go for it!
I believe that there should be more simple long range boats like this one (aluminum or fiberglass) to cross an ocean for mariners that are in the 3rd age that are not as strong to keep handling sails and cannot pay for crew. Keep it simple, cost efficient, reliable, strong, safe and durable.
Great point!
This is how all boats should be
Yes, I am in that category and would love a boat like this!
Whenever I see 5000 NM range I click.
But that became even more impressive once the size of the fuel tanks was mentioned and taken into account. Only 792 US Gallons, that is like over 6 NM to the gallon. Even at the faster speed of 8 KTS and range of 3500 NM, that is still an amazing 4.5 NM to the gallon.
This explorer yacht has so much practicality and the price point is very competitive.
My only gripe may be the lack of a back up engine.
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!!!
It looks like a Dashew yacht being made out of aluminium and the long slim design. But only having one engine would give me anxiety.
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.
This is a very interesting yacht for the features and price. Love it.
Serious question: This is a really tempting proposition for the combination of long range mixed with the option to go through Europe inland, but.. isn't it hugely problematic having a 5000nm range with a single engine and absolutely no redundancy? I know well maintained trawler speed engines are super reliable, but you surely could find yourself 1500nm away from shore in a bit of a dilemma?
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...
No seat for the helmsman ?
Danke!
Bitte sehr!
Hey.. I know you've been doing this a while - and very well.. I encourage you to have a look at some audio compression for your voice-overs. Adobe Premiere has a multi-band compressor and so does Davinci Resolve. No a big deal..! Keep up the good work :)
I would choose this boat over a catamaran.
I still love this ship...but for a Long Range Yacht...I do not see a Helm Chair...does that mean one would have to stand the whole 5000 N/M trip?
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).
Will never be able to afford this boat, but I have the same oven from Bosch and vice in my workshop …..so I can relate a bit😂😂😂😂
great for the big lakes
yes
The interior is almost like a jail room despite how practical it is
Nice jails you have in your country)))
Awesome boat reasonable price
Yes indeed!
Reminds me of that fantastic German E boat
Looks fantastic, however would like a back up engine
Reminds me of the boat in "Father Goose" with Cary Grant...
It's not my cup of tea. I like former naval vessels or classic trawlers. There will be people who really enjoy this type of boat 🚢. Keep them coming.
Thanks for watching :-)
I am not personally capable of piloting such a boat unsupervised, and due to my disabilities, it would take a lot before there is a chance of that changing. I think I'm going to need at least a captain and one valet/crewmember. I love this CA$995,000 boat but one permanent bunk and one head is a problem.
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.
Wow!
So I have to stand while crossing the ocean? Get rid of the one side of the couch and give me a captains chair. Add a smaller back up motor and folding propeller with separate fuel tank and you have a legit ocean vessel. This is not a true go anywhere vessel as it stands.
Apakah kapalnya masih ada?????
Nice
I always find it strange how boat engines are painted after being fully assembled. Hardlines, hoses, bolts, clips, the lot. Looks like even the oil filter is painted on this one. I think I’d rather have just the block and the valve cover painted, and have the manifolds, clips, hardlines and Exhaust stuff made out of stainless. The first time you did any maintenance on it as it is now, you’d scratch the heck out of it.
Interesting!
These start out as tractor engines. There may not be stainless parts/components available at ay cost.
The windows, storm, big waves, green water on deck, will they hold?
thats sleek. but by gods Id want a decent helm seat.
no captain/ helmsman chair? weird
That boat needs some color on the interior. Spend more then a week in a medical facility. Then you'll know how all white layouts can be oppressive too. 😂😂
I like the design BUT the helm is odd and I would want the master midships or aft. I don’t want to sleep in the bow underway. Even on the hook that’s the most motion in the boat. As others have said the head location is weird too especially if more than the couple are on board. Dockage will also be very expensive with this LOA. But a lot to like nonetheless. The shoal draft in particular opens lots of possibilities vs something like a nordhavn.
Nice workshop. Expecting lots of repairs then?
It's not for me, what would you do with it. Maybe a good boat for fishing off the coast in.
I want this
There is no way I would go green water without a second power source.
wr⁹ng
@@sharonbraselton4302 Sorry, don't understand.
This boat was for sale in autumn 2022 under durch flag, in Jan. 2023 it is under German flag ( see video) and in March 2023 for sale again. What is wrong with it ?
I can’t believe they didn’t put in a helm chair on a 58’ boat…..otherwise it’s top notch…..I would even pick it over a Nordhavn.
Why are these pricey yachts so slow. 9 knots, top speed, flat out? What’s the optimal cruising speed, 5 knots (9 kph)?
they could have dropped the pilot house back just a bit and added a mast making this a nice motor sailer
No Captains chair for the helmsman? Going to get very tiring on a long watch with broken autopilot. Only one engine is a problem.
Interesting boat with amazing capabilities. But, very small accommodations for 58 feet.
I like it, but I kind of worry about a single engine.
👍
🙌
How much fuel used per hour?
Crossing an ocean at 7 knots, you’d better like fish. Like REALLY like fish.
For an extended crossing, I'd want to be able to sit at the helm. Not be stood for hours on end!
There appears to be no seat for the helm?...
Why do all great ship come from the Netherlands
Just been filming on board hull number one of the LRC65! Stay turned for the video!
Learn to sail, youl go further than 5000nm
Cool but why use a potato for a camera?
Should've had a second 20 bhp engine for safety, because everything breaks
wrjbg
looks good only one tiny point. Why has this 3 window Bridge/cockpit front to look like stolen from another ship were it was originally designed for?
58ft with 1 bedroom and then to top it off your guests have to walk through your bedroom to use the one bathroom on the boat... I'm sorry but there are boats half the size with a day head
They have now made 14 of this yacht family from Artnautica ranging from the 58 to 65 to the 78 and a much bigger 85. FPB made 18 in total it looks like these will occupy the space left when they stopped making FPB. I know the owner of Brit, competent engineer now building a 65 foot model in Netherlands. Check out their fuel consumption, my chain saw uses more than that! Long live Hydrodynamics.
🙌🫡
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 really wanted to like it... but for 695 k I do expect better interior, but the real deal-beaker is that for an Explorer I do expect twin engine layout.
That interior would give me snowblindness and the lack of a second engine nightmares.
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.
John, that would be a very interesting live aboard. I would probably have the helm done in a matte black for night cruising with red lights scattered around for your night vision.
This is a true "this is my house" kind of yacht. The ability to live a thousand miles offshore by just yourself and your partner if you so choose for a month or two at a time and then randomly go another 2,000nm at random in any direction you choose is absolutely incredible. 58 feet! That's TINY by modern yacht standards. I know people who have 58-foot DAYboats.
Good price and I love how tough it is. Long range. This would be the one I'd get if I could afford it. Beautiful yacht.
Agreed!
Looks like this boat was inspired by the Steve Dashew line of long range Cruisers
Why not a twin prop setup? Would make sense for an ocean crossing vessel to have extra redundancy and having twin skeg setup means you can beach the vessel on tidal beaches. No combined gimballed oven and cooker? Should be fun cooking on a rolly crossing!
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.
Is this the same design as the LRC58 built by Dickey Boats in NZ about 10 years ago? It look very similar.
It has been at that price ($600k+ range) for some time now. I believe the price is around the same as a new boat.
Only 90 hp ..I couldn’t believe …imagine to add a small electric motor and cover it completely with solar ! But keeping the gas engine and couple the electric motor into the drivetrain
That looks like a Dashew-inspired design; that duo were AMAZING in their passion for the Sport, and the radical transformation of what an Explorer Yacht could be!
Steve and Linda Dashew, we thank you for your dedication to efficiency
The apparent lack of a helmsman chair would make it difficult for us on long journeys. Another head and shower would also be terrific.Otherwise a great yacht with great features.
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
At 56’ I would have to have at least 2 cabins. If you’re only going to have one state room, it better have a bigger bed than a double. 🤔
What's her range if that single engine fails ?
Absolutely love that ! Low (relatively) maintenance, superb fuel economy / range / sea worthiness, and I really like the functional styling. Very attractive package.
🙌
fantastic boat. and so afforable. I would be a bit concerned about redundancy though regarding a single engine with no wing motor
You could literally just carry an extra engine since it's so small.
Would be great for my wife and I to spend the rest of our days exploring all the Great Lakes of Canada. It would take at least ten years to do that alone.
Without adequate guest quarters it would be difficult to take friends along.
You mean, "house pests"? (Kinky Friedman). Better to not have the space, I feel.
Steve Dashew was the first designer of these aluminum boats. Some of the larger FSB series had twin engines. His boats are actually better designed then these boats. They were much more expensive. You see them come up for sale now and then. Steve and the New Zealand company parted ways quite a long time ago. Yes, this is a pretty damn good price point. I also find it interesting that this boat has a Beta Marine engine, which i believe is a Japanese Kubota tractor modified for marine use. It is the engine I would put in a boat. But I find it is interesting that a European boat is not using a Volvo. On the West Coast of USA you rarely see the Volvos...most Betas or Yanmar over here. Volvo too expensive and too hard to get parts for. That engine room is very nicely sorted out. Would love to own this boat.
That kitchen looks unusable at sea. With nothing to brace against youll fall over, and then your pot of boiling noodles will come down on top of you, followed by pretty much everything else on the bench.
Is it just a bachelor fishing/party rig? Crack some beers, grill some meat, never use the kitchen? That would fit with the sparse interior.
A monohull would not be my first choice but this boat is the exception to the rule. Excellent presentation.
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...
Interesting boat terrible camera work though I can't see what's going on
For a couple that wants to cross oceans with a simple, low maintenance reliable boat, this is hard to beat.
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.
Is a single engine, in the modern era, safe to cross oceans? Love the boat!
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!
I love this concept of Explorer. Watching from Sydney, Australia this boat actually has the legs to go places.
💯% 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’
Yacht is better but this is still good👍
I like the range. Buying a power catamaran and trying to get from San Diego to Hawaii at 2,400 miles is hard to do. Plus if you're a empty nest couple I dont need all the cabins the catamaran has. I wish this boat with the single cabin. all aluminum. and massive range was a cat. When you get into massive sea states, I'm not a fan of the monohull.
Ils auraient dû mettre un moteur capable d’atteindre au moins la vitesse de carène d’une telle coque. 9 nœuds en croisière, 12 en pointe ,pour pouvoir combattre des courants comme dans la Manche ou en Bretagne ,qui sont parfois de 6 voir 8 nœuds dans le Raz de Sein ou le Raz Blanchard par exemple.
The most uncomfortable helm station I have seen in a long time
Combined with an additional small electric outboard motor and additional solar panels, the range could be increased even further. And it could move very quietly, e.g. for observing animals.
It is easy to make a lazy comparison between any aluminum vessel possessing a narrow beam, with a long water line to an FPB; yet I do not feel like such comparisons are fair. These are designed with a very different, and specific set of priorities.
There are so many compromises to be had, for a boat to be an ocean cruiser, that can explore inland waterways. Done well, it is a very intriguing proposition- the shipyard would do well to bring Yacht Bouy along head first into rough seas, then assess how she surfs down wind.
Thank you for bringing us all of these unique vessels; they are such a delight to watch.
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 Wilco, with bated breath!
I know absolutely nothing about boats but the thought that crossed my mind is - if it is a single engine, what happens in say the middle of the Atlantic, if the engine breaks down, what happens next ?
Si vous connaissez des bonnes prières, c'est le moment.
Surprised there is no way to sit facing forward while steering.
Does anyone know if this company makes a cargo boat on this design?
Hard to believe there is no wing engine for redundancy.
This boat make it to sea of cronos ?
Like it an awful lot... what a fantastic boat, but the lack of any helm seat I find troubling. I think if I was to try motoring the entire Pacific I would prefer twin screw however.
I understand the LRC advantages of building a M/Y into a S/Y hull, but I can't for the life of me figure out how you design your boat around those requirements and pass up a simple junk rig stepped right in front of the cabin. Even a relatively stubby little folding arrangement could save you so much juice
Very nice, love the clean lines
On;y in 2024 can a person proudly state that your “ fully off grid “…..with a freezer , refrigerator , a 47 liter oven , gas two burner cooker , and plenty of counter space !!!! And that’s not even mentioning the 695,000 $ “ boat “ so sorry 😞 but off grid is a canoe , a campfire 🔥, and marshmellows😮 😂
The ocean is a desert brother. You need to bring shit to cross it. Gate keeping a purpose built vessel is dumb, off grid is off grid.
Love your videos but i think you made a mistake in the description re Draft: 0.5mtr is 50cm or 19.685 inches, not 3ft 1inch (which would be 37inches) as you said, quite surprised no-one has actually pulled you up on that mistake......... everyone is allowed a mistake now & then so i won't hold it against you!
lol - thanks! 🫡
Great performance but gosh the decor and accommodations need to be much improved. Looks so uncomfortable and depressing to live in for extended voyages.
Nice video. I would review the draft in meters. It is not the same in feet an a bit low for a 17 meter yacht.
I am really sold on this small ship!... I am getting ready to spend time living, fishing and exploring the Mexican Yucatan, Cuba along with Belize and will need the low Draft.
Great price!
Question? I do not see air conditioning...Will a 4 Kw. Gen Set enable this or will one have to add an Air-Conditioning unit with a larger Gen Set?
Question? I do not see a Winch or Davits to raise a Dingy...I see they had one before placed on the roof and along where they added the Solar Panels...Where and how could one put a Runabout?
