      Assume this was Tokkie’s replacement boat after the first was dropped?

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler
      @CassidysSailingTrawler  5 років тому +4

      animal494 - that is correct. It’s a little confusing to follow the saga because apparently Nordhavn gave him a “loaner” boat after the first one was dropped and that one was also named Ata Marie for some period of time but it has a gray hull and the 2 stateroom/sailing cockpit configuration.

      +JoJo/Clem Kadilihopper - totally agree. There are no videos or even really photos of anyone actually cruising on one is these boats. We hope to change that and will keep sharing as we learn the boat and begin to cruise on her.

    • @Apollo9733us
      @Apollo9733us 5 років тому

      The problem with this particular vessel is there is NO real life cruising with it and I can't figure it out, its like the best of both worlds with an adjustable feathering prop. It should be a world wide cruiser and yet no one has done it. I so look forward to the day to day operations of this motor sailor. I understand its a bit power hungry and that can be fixed with solar panels and a wind turbine. The previous owner added a second auto pilot which was very smart. The actual layout of this MS is beautiful. Its a brilliant design, and I for the life of me can't figure out why this MS never took off. One of your first video's should be an in depth tour of this incredible MS from a new owners perspective and then launch into the travels and adventures. I'be been aware of the 56 for some time and specifically this boat, but he never video taped the adventures and posted them. NO one has done this on the 56 and I am so glad you will do it:)

    I really enjoy your being absolutely clueless, because I am too and it's inspiring that other people share my sort of "Yeah. I can do that", attitude in doing something that is becoming more and more an ambition of mine. I started looking at motor yachts and trawlers, but as time went on motor-sailers seemed like the most practical solution to skill level (0), and financial ability. I also like the quirky accomodations due to the quasi-sailboat hull shape, they feel cosier and the water is more immediate to the experience. I've pushed all the buttons and looking forward to the next episode. Kudos.

  • @Sabre2165
    @Sabre2165 5 років тому

    I've enjoyed seeing your family's experiences aboard the 40 and look forward to the continuing adventure. As a lifelong sailor who recently moved to a trawler, I'm very interested to learn about the 56 and see how she balances the "motor" with the "sailor." Learning how to sail will be a fun and ongoing project and we appreciate being invited to follow along. I like the comment about the "three boats" that you have, and the fact that you have a pure motor trawler as your failsafe if the sailing becomes uncomfortable, you lose the wind, etc. The only advice I'd ever give about sailing is how to determine when to reef sails: it's when you first wonder whether or not you should reef!
    Best wishes from the Pacific Northwest. We'd love to see you guys up here again!

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler

    I could never quite understand why this model never really gained popularity because only I think my 12 have been built. I think it’s a wonderful layout and it’s pretty much three boats and one with the adjustable prop. Enjoy your journeys with this incredible motor sailer.

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler
      @CassidysSailingTrawler  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks - They actually only made 8 but it's still an available model to build if anyone wanted too. I am sure that a version built with some of the evolutionary design features that Nordhavn has gone to in the last 10 years would be an amazing boat. I really hope they build more!

    Wow! you bought my dream boat. I'll be tuning in for sure. Was just complaining to myself that there weren't enough 56MS videos on UA-cam, as I've been watching the same ones over, and over. Love the technical discussions on your previous video's, and am eager to see how you find that supposedly $50,000 variable pitch propeller. Was just in St. Petes myself last week.

    What a fiercely opinionated craft with some super interesting features.
    Also, don’t worry about sailing. If you ever feel overwhelmed just bring the sail in and furl it up - you can learn slowly. Sailing is the best way to cross oceans at low cost and you’ll learn to love the hybrid. :)

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler
      @CassidysSailingTrawler  5 років тому +3

      Joe User - that is a good video and we watched it several times while trying to get a sense of what the boat is all about. It doesn't really show much as far as how you actually would run the boat with a combination of motor and sail though. I do like the fact that the boat is able to actually make good headway under pure sail power in the right conditions. We are really looking forward to learning the boat and hope to be able to show people its true capabilities under everyday real world conditions and usage.

  • @jeffway40
    @jeffway40 5 років тому +1

    From the briefest of glimpses of your variable pitch prop, it looks to be suffering from electrolysis which left unchecked will cost mega money to replace. As a marine engineer I suggest you get it checked out asap

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler
      @CassidysSailingTrawler  5 років тому

      jeff way - thanks. The surveyor looked at the prop in a lot of detail and I think what you are seeing is just the fact that the previous owner had it painted with some type of antifouling paint that would normally be used on a hull rather than a product like Prop Speed and it is just wearing unevenly where growth had attached.

  • @mattlechner8442
    @mattlechner8442 Рік тому

    looks like a great boat. If you are new to sailing, two small suggestions that could be helpful. #1 on a big sailboat, when handling lines coming off of the winches, keep your pinky toward the winch drum instead of your thumb and forefinger; #2 when the jib is luffing and you're on deck, don't let the hardware at the jib's clew hit you - it's big and it's pretty heavy especially if it's getting swung around by a luffing jib.

    Great looking boat and excellent choice. Couple of suggestions. Next time back her into the slings won't have to pull the forestay. Second you'll enjoy the motion with the sails up. Very good motion that very few get sick on..Also rig a self tacking jib/Genoa. It's easy and a lot of designs out there to DIY one. Huge game changer.

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler
      @CassidysSailingTrawler  5 років тому

      We asked about backing in and the yard manager didn’t think it would work either. I think we need to go somewhere with a taller travel lift next time.
      Interesting about a self tacking Genoa. We will read about that when it comes time to replace the sails.

      +AustralianDude1 - they didn’t necessarily stop making them - it’s still listed by Nordhavn as part of their lineup and they would happily build someone a new boat.
      It seems that it was a misunderstood boat and not readily accepted by the market. We are hoping that as we learn and share more about this boat people will gain some interest. It would be a shame to see a boat model with such potential never see another built.

    Good luck and happy sailing!

      The Diesel Auxiliary is the back-up, the Sails should be your primary. The challenge in a motorsailer vs a "sailboat" is tacking takes a bit more time and planning, but with modern autopilots and integrated navigation your not tied to the wheel on long reaches ...especially offshore.

    Motor sailing is the way to go. even if the wind is down, and the engine is doing most of the work, keeping some wind in the sails will help to stabilize the boat. You really don't need anything else as far as a wing engine or stabilizers.

    Congrats on the purchase, wish we would have run in to you in St. Pete, we are currently docked over at the Vinoy right next door to where you went out for sea trial. I do have a question for my curiosity’s sake, what was the reason for hauling the boat at Bertram and not at one of the yards right next door in St. Pete? Was it just to give you some nice distance for the sea trial, or other reasons? -Butch

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler
      @CassidysSailingTrawler  5 років тому

      Aqua-Cultured - Thanks! I don't have a complete answer for you regarding the boat yard as the brokers handled all of the logistics for us. But I think part of your assumption with respect to getting distance for the sea trial is correct. The other thing is that the rig on this boat is really tall - the top of the mast is 75 feet off of the water and I think that the other local yards couldn't or wouldn't haul the boat. The people at Bertram didn't want to do it either but they did finally agree after some friendly persuasion. It was a bit of a hassle to haul as they had to move the slings a few times to balance the boat, hauled it once and couldn't get her high enough, and finally we had to drop the forestay.
      We are going to be back in the area next weekend and then heading south April 2 or as soon as weather allows.

    • @AquaCultured
      @AquaCultured 5 років тому

      Cassidy's Sailing Trawler yeah i guess a rig that tall would come in to play ;). Also being a Trawler person I would have only considered breadth and weight being the limiting factors. Sounds like it was a good introduction to the many things you now need to think differently about. It definitely seemed like they were a bit nervous pulling her out of the water. I believe that is where they used to build Lazzara yachts so they should have been well equipped for hauling larger and more complicated vessels that the St. Pete yards cannot handle.
      I would love to connect with you next weekend when you are back in town if your time permits. And if not then, hopefully on the following trip.
      I am a big fan of Nordhavn, and it is amazing to think that you will be able to shut down the main and enjoy the sound of the sea while still making way in the comfort of a Trawler.

      @@TheOverproof151 You know it's not just a boat meant for motoring or sailing don't you? It is designed to motorsial. And you realize that it masses twice as much as their old boat? I think your premise is very naive.

    • @CassidysSailingTrawler
      @CassidysSailingTrawler  5 років тому

      cornskid - of course it will cost more to run. Nothing is free and the boat is 105,000 lbs vs the 40 which was about half that. That said, this hull is probably the most efficient design Nordhavn has ever made - even more efficient than the 57 and 50 which are both efficient and fast boat’s.
      We don’t have a lot of experience underway yet but on the sea trial we saw a burn rate from the engine computer of 3 gallons per hour at just under 8 knots and motorsailing with just the main and light air - approximately 12 knots of wind - we saw less than 2 gallons per hour at over 8 knots. For a boat with this much mass it’s incredibly efficient and the sails make the range go off the charts.
