As a former deckhand on oceanographic research ships, I love the "ship" look and feel of this vessel- steel hatchways with dogs, proper portholes, etc. This is a vessel for people who want to be at sea, with wind in their hair and sea spray splashing them in the face, not just sitting tethered alongside sipping $40 wine back aft. Gorgeous boat, not your usual 'McTrawler' ! The 'voice over' approach with existing footage works really well by the way, you could do more of it during lockdown-just have the owners get clean video shot and uploaded to you and away you go.
This fellow is THE best vid-tour yacht broker! His experience in the Nordhavn 40’ circumnavigation and his incredible knowledge from a 25(?) yr career as a broker/agent - well, there is no one I have more trust in, for somebody I’ve never met, regarding honest presentations of power boats.
There is something so classy and interesting about Diesel Ducks because of their rugged constriction and their ocean capabilities that makes me love them
Wellcraft19: Thank you very much for your kind words. The Diesel Duck line has a loyal following and without a doubt they provide a lot of boat for the money. What may seem quirky at first does tend to grow on people.
This boat looks like a tank and I love it...I noticed the main stateroom was compartmentalized with a watertight door as well. When I'm ready, I'm putting this on my list, but I have a feeling they're as rare as hen's teeth.
David: Tank is a good description. We seem to have a good connection with the Diesel Duck market, please write direct to Jeff@JMYS.com and we can add you to our list.
@@JeffMerrillYachts Jeff, I'm at least 6-24 months out, but you seem to have a huge network when it comes to the Nordhavns, and I'm really interested in either a 35 or 40...maybe in 2 years, the 41N will start popping up in the used market as well.
Like this much more than a true sailboat. I've been on several and the steep stairs from cockpit to interior is treacherous. That and I dislike the feeling of being in a "cave" that most sailboats have. I've once heard sailors compare to gofers. They stick their head up from their holes, look around and back down into the hole. Nope. I'm a trawler guy.
Maleko: Good that you have been aboard a DD and everyone has a different impression. To me the stairs from the pilothouse to the saloon is not too steep - check out a Nordhavn 46. The "belly" saloon is more like a sailboat, and many people prefer that privacy, rather than being the fish in a bowl with massive windows dock walkers can look into. This is a good combination of sail and power.
Sorry, I don't have the key board to type in your name: They are all in English, the only language I speak. We do include dimensions in metric on our listings -see JMYS.com and we often include them in some subtitles, you must have missed at 0:15 some metric dimensions. At 4:19 - first interior location we give the headroom in metric. Please re-watch and pause to read the subtitles. We try to be metric savvy!
Hi Jim, I’m curious about boat shows and TrawlerFests for summer/fall 2021. What do you recommend for a new guy to meet and greet people and powered yachts? Are you attending any?
Yorg33k: The boat show schedule is starting to show up online. TrawlerFest has dates for Newport, RI in August (go to www.trawlerfest.com) and they are talking about later dates at other venues. I try to attend all of the TrawlerFest and would suggest you give that a close look and try to attend to learn more. If you do, please chase me down so we can meet.
GS: Seahorse marine, the builder would have to advise on whether she has been approved as Category A. Completely different boat than a Nordhavn 41. Steel vs. Fiberglass, flybridge vs. not, single with sail plan vs. two. Prunes and Pineapples!
Kevin: This boat can go anywhere, not sure what regulations or special importation requirements you may have. Feel free to email me direct - Jeff@JMYS.com
I want a sailboat but this really made me think. At the risk of sounding rediculous. Can I sail this an wud it be a good blue water vessel? It's perfect but Im not rich I wanna live on the boat I choose an be off grid for months at a time. Tho I am not even middle class.. my disabled son loves the sea an wants to see the world... I want to give him his dream... ✌🏻💗😊❣️ Any suggestions I wud love...
I'm really looking to find my new life on the ocean as my sister lives in Aruba. I want something safe an livable... I'm in love with this style of ship... It's really stuck in my head...!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️

Blewyd: They really have a lot of character and are not a "me too" trawler.
Outstanding walkthrough. Not a boat for everyone, but a balanced and well executed showing.

That's an impressive little ship!
Duncan: Thank you, she really is a ship, how can you build a 40' ship? Well, just like this!
Thank you for introducing this to me! Love your videos!
Wai: Thank you for your nice note!
Thank you!

I am interested in more information and will check out the other video now... Well built boat with great pedigree ...

Hello Zoza!

Beautiful boat
Tom L: Thank you for you comment
A really nice boat.
Graeme: Thank you!
Lovely boat.
Capital: Thank you, the credit to builder Bill Kimley and Seahorse marine and the owner for keeping her looking so great!
Nice presentation! I think you got an error on the fuel tank capacity in the specification, though.
Markus: Thank you. Did you see a mistake in the video slide or with the online presentation?
Looks like a fresh water boat
Frank: She is up in Michigan now, but has also been in the Atlantic, so she's an "any-water" boat!
Haven't spent any time at sea, have you?
@@harbourdogNL not since vietnam
That is a fine little ship
Snow: Agree with your comment!
I like the boat perfect for the size.
Bert: Thank you, a lot of boat to enjoy in that package.
5,500+ миль, это Атлантический океан туда обратно👍
Thank you!

Jeff Merrill, what about the Metric system, or at least the subtitles?

Do the math, or there's an app for that...
Fantastico 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Nicola: Thank you!
i will be in Northport in a week or so. I will look for it.
Jani: She will be launched soon. Please contact Larry@JMYS.com if you want a closer look.

is this Category A on sea worthiness? do you have any comparison with Nordhavn 41?
GS: Seahorse marine, the builder would have to advise on whether she has been approved as Category A. Completely different boat than a Nordhavn 41. Steel vs. Fiberglass, flybridge vs. not, single with sail plan vs. two. Prunes and Pineapples!
Is there any backup propulsion besides the sail?
Sea Sea: Correct, this is a sail assisted trawler, no PTO or wing engine, the sails are your back up.
I love these boats
Gerry: The Diesel Ducks are great!
They are cool!
I always thought trawlers are the best.
Pine: A lot to like when you consider trawlers
Is the designer related to Ferris Beuhler?
Military: Good question, but I don't think so.
Prolly his dad. :)
I realy love the ship
Can it be import to the EU?

Any suggestions I wud love...
Donna: This is a great mini-ship. They are designed for open water/ocean travel. You need to know what you are doing, but the DD’s are capable.

@@donnakawana A proper boat can get you there, this is a very distinctive looking boat, not many made and very capable.
Lekker man lekker
Thank you Gerhard!
Why did it take over 3 years to sell this boat?
Buck: It didn’t. We have listed her twice. First time took a bit longer, in 2021 it was a matter of weeks to close.
@@JeffMerrillYachts oh ok
