I get people get tired of posting and having to make videos, but I hope your family is safe and you are still living the best life no matter what that is for you!
Brought my dad's boat into small shipyard I worked at and we covered his hull with .010 thick copper that he bought. We took his boat to Mazatlan many times because his grandfather was from there. Good times, circa 70s-80s.
Well Cassidy your boat is looking pretty good. Nice to see that your dad is trying to keep up with all the stuff. It's never ending but using it helps keep the gremlins away. Hope that you are enjoying life aboard and walking on a floor that is rarely level.
I enjoy your video series because they are educational. Part of what I was hoping to find on your channel was an explanation of what things cost. Maybe I've missed that if you've discussed it in the past but so far I have yet to hear one mention of what your smaller Nordhaven cost to operate, what you sold it for, what the new boat cost to purchase, insurance, routine maintenance, and now what did this rebuild of your driveshaft / cutlass bearing etc. cost. This information from a reliable source and not someone trying to sell me something would add GREATLY to your series educational value. I'm hoping you'll add this information to your videos otherwise they seem more braggadocios than informative. You're doing what many of us aspire to do and are in a unique position to help others like myself make a realistic leap of faith to doing the same. Thanks
Excellent video..The Mexican music in the background is very alluring..You feel like you are in Mexico..The yard personal seem very competent..The complexity of the project was nicely explained. Thanks
So glad to see your boat getting some work done. Great looking boat 👍. Really enjoyed all your travels and understand life happens. Will be waiting for your adventure to continue. Best of luck.
It was awesome seeing you guys anchored in Glorietta Bay yesterday and getting to meet you. Looking forward to talking again and sharing a cocktail. See you this summer!
In the wee small hours of the night when the boatyard is quiet, ATA MARIE can be heard saying, "Thank you Dougal. I knew you were the right guy for a high maintenance gal like me."
Hi) I saw your boat for sale. It’s a pity that I won’t see any more videos from your channel. The price is interesting, I think the second day. I remember how envious I was of you four years ago. But I have little experience. Very inconvenient location in California. It's a shame it's not Florida. I wish all the best to your family) upd. I remembered how you refueled in Acapulco) this is the best video I’ve seen on the Internet)
Good to see your finally out of the yard, bet your glad it’s done. We were pretty impressed with the caliber of work they do at Baja Naval, and they stay busy! Cheers from John & Tracey onboard MVPAIRADICE in the Sea of Cortez.
Why yes we were. Talked with you guys briefly upon your arrival, but you were pretty busy getting hauled out. Hope all is going well and have you headed North yet? Were planning to finish up our Cruise of the Sea of Cortez in late March and haul out at San Carlos for the long hot summer. If all goes well we will head south to transit the canal early next year. Might even buddy boat down with a few Nordies. Cheers
Hey guys, are you doing ok? I thought you guys cruised through the pandemic and was expecting 50 plus videos. Hope all is well with you. Looking forward to more videos.
One of the thru hull halogen lights had flooded and the manufacturer said they could have rebuilt it for $150. Problem was it was bedded with 3M 5200 and wouldn’t come out without a saw. I’m the end the new lights are way brighter and will last longer. Bonus is they have both blue and white color available.
Well Mr. Cassidy looks like they did a great job, love Mexico, Thank you for this video Happy safe voyage to you and your Family looking to im looking to buy one my self
I'm glad to see that you have increased the flow of water. I would attach a sensor to the bearing that would cause an alarm if the temperature got hot enough. You could run the wire to the nearest alarm box. I'd hate to see you ruin another bearing.
Excellent video! Great camera work. I really appreciate you showing the details of everything. Too many YT channels show all the guts out, then cut to everything back in place. Those flush mounted lights seem like a no-brainer than those giant holes originally in your hull. And all those LEDs(!!) - it must be much brighter! :) Congrats on an excellent video!
Thanks for sharing. Always like how large boats come out and in the water. I would be looking in to a flow switch at the nipple just for peace of mind.
Another trick you may consider is adding a vent line to the water feed line for the cuttless it will help in the event of pump failure or blockage or scoops on the sides of the stern tube
Was watching an interview with a guy who's on his tenth Trawler starting with Katy Krogens and now Nordhavens. Jms Trawler on UA-cam I think interviewed him. Probably hard to find someone more knowledgeable than that. Great interview anyways.
I am actually sad it seems to be over. Someone posted your boat is/was for sale. Just want you to know I really enjoyed your content. I learned a lot from you.
The boat is not for sale. There are actually 2 on the market now because of unforeseen circumstances with the owners. More videos will come at some point! Hopefully soon.
Have not listed the boat! There are strangely 2 out of the 9 that were built on the market right now due to unforeseen circumstances the owners of each are facing. And Nordhavn finally got an order to build a new 56MS so I am excited to follow that build. Hopefully will get back to posting videos soon.
Nice to see that the boat uses a standard stuffing box. Simple and safe. Are you using Gore GFO? It drips way less then normal packing material, requires less lubrication, and runs cooler. You can re-pack in the water if you leave the last existing ring in place.
Tony & Susan here, That really is a fantastic boat, we love to learn about service and repairs. As we are shopping for a 43. Was the work you had done on the shaft north of 10k with the haul out and clean up. No pressure to answer that question.
Not afraid to answer the question - your estimate of cost was almost spot on. Considering the amount of work they had to do to remove and service the running gear and the rudder and everything else that was done we thought it was a pretty good price. The boat yard workers at Baja Naval are really careful and did great work too.
Cassidy's Sailing Trawler I’ve done a bit of boat repair/maintenance myself over the last 3+ decades and I have to say that 10k ish is pretty darn fair. That video made it look quick and easy but it’s darn sure not, not even close to being either. The 100 mm bearing is crazy but with Nordhavn’s it was done for a reason. It’s unfortunate that the failure of a $20-30 nipple caused $1k’s in repairs but that’s life with boats and fast cars, been there done that.
Great videos. How do you compare the MS 56 to your previous N40? Would interested I sound and vibration levels, comfort underway in big seas - sails vs stabilisers for roll control etc. Is there much less maintenance on the MS 56?
What’s the annual maintenance cost of a NH56 (just regular maintenance with repairs)? And how much extra one should put aside for repairs, replacements, improvements?
Hope you post at least some sort of update for some closure to your fans. I understand it is very tough to maintain a boat and then retire prematurely, especially when raising a child and posting videos of your family. But even a 5 minute clip telling us what's going on would be great.
My wife and I enjoyed your content, right up to the point you stopped posting. Any chance there is going to be anything new anytime soon? Asking for a friend.
My husband and I really enjoyed and learned a lot from your videos. We have been looking at other off shore cruising you tube videos. We picked up a lot of very useful information that was not given on the other channels. Thank you so much for sharing.❤️ We pray you all are doing well in this COVID situation. Hopefully when this temporary situation lifts you all can continue living your circumnavigation life. We hope to meet you all one day on the open seas . Post when you can . Praying for you all .
No matter what you spend for a boat, they still need maintenance. You can afford a boat when you have someone else do all the work and you don't care what they charge you. Then, and only then, will you be finally at peace. I am one of the unfortunates that does all his own repairs and dreads spring for all the new things that need to be done.
@@CassidysSailingTrawler Do u know where in the world are yards experienced with servicing and repairing Nordhavns in general and N56 in specific? If one had that information, one could bring the boat to a yard with lower labor costs. e.g. how about Turkey where they are building new N41 and N51, do they also do boat work?
Definitely not done. It's just been a strange year with everything going on in the world and we haven't been using the boat much other than local trips in Southern California.
Are you sold on the Hundestad prop? It looks quite complex -- is the performance worth the extra cost of servicing it? The cut-out between the rudder and the hull looks just like what a wonderful naval architect named Ted Brewer used on many yachts like the Whitby 42 -- he called it the "Brewer Bite."
Answe is - not enough data. Dan Streech and the Leishman brothers at Nordhavn are sold on it. It’s expensive and complex yes. The number I heard is $75k to put it on the boat new. I love the idea of it. We shall see once we start using the boat with favorable winds.
Because of the 18 foot long shaft, this boat has 2 cutlass bearings. We put the cutlass bearing that was wrapped in fiberglass in the aft position, just forward of the propeller. There is no chance of that one ever overheating because it is right at the area where the prop shaft exits the boat and constantly has good water flow. It was the cutlass bearing just aft of the stuffing box that is way inside the boat that overheated.
Hello from Russia) I've been watching you for a long time) You kind of wanted to rename the new boat to the old name 'Cassidy'. Have you changed your mind?
Great video as usual wondering why you stop uploading videos!!? as its been over 2 years since the last video on your channel. thanks for sharing stay safe
Where have you guys been I really really miss you and your beautiful boat You know anybody who's selling one just like yours please let me know my wife would love to have a sail motor yacht like you what you have hard to find obviously
are you guys still around? I am thinking of buying Nordhavn as well and would like to see what you like and what not on your NH. I am planning to circumnavigate the globe within the next 2 years and any info is very helpful, thx
@@CassidysSailingTrawler Let's go guys. We need some content. Everybody thinks the Nordhavn was scrapped due to the fact they make the keels out of gold. You cashed in. Lol
Selene Ocean Yachts might be more cost effective buy !? about 65c to $ of a Nordhavn, no 56MS type model yet though. Nordhavn's a slightly better build but they sure are pricey !?
I have an N43, and am toying with the idea of a MS56. How much are you able to sail? Are the annual expenses exponentially higher? Do you ever run the boat by yourself? Best, Maldwin
The boat is not super difficult to run single handed. A lot of our trip through Central America I was alone on the boat. Expenses are more than on the 40 but so far not extremely so. There are things that come up though like needing to repair sails that add cost but no wing engine or stabilizers to maintain. We just finally sailed the boat in god conditions with no motor and it was great and we were up close to 8 knots with only 15 knots of wind.
I get people get tired of posting and having to make videos, but I hope your family is safe and you are still living the best life no matter what that is for you!
The reflection of the sun off the hull almost blinded me. FANTASTIC!
Wahoo good to see you knuckleheads back on the tube. 😉❤️
Brought my dad's boat into small shipyard I worked at and we covered his hull with .010 thick copper that he bought. We took his boat to Mazatlan many times because his grandfather was from there. Good times, circa 70s-80s.
Missing you guys, such a unique trawler/sailer. Hope you are all safe these crazy days. Looking forward to seeing more.
More to come!
Hope everything's fine. Missing your videos.
@@CassidysSailingTrawler Are you guys ok? Missing the adventure.
Well Cassidy your boat is looking pretty good. Nice to see that your dad is trying to keep up with all the stuff. It's never ending but using it helps keep the gremlins away. Hope that you are enjoying life aboard and walking on a floor that is rarely level.
Just finished watching all your videos in the past 2 days. Keep up the good work!
Awesome shot of the hull polishing with the flag in the background!
I agree, now that's a mirrored finish. ;-)
Gorgeous vessel. I'm envious. Your daughter is as cute as a button too. Nice video.
Nice yard, clean and you see they try to be safe as well.

Anxious to see her underway Cap.
So glad to see your boat getting some work done. Great looking boat 👍. Really enjoyed all your travels and understand life happens. Will be waiting for your adventure to continue. Best of luck.
It was awesome seeing you guys anchored in Glorietta Bay yesterday and getting to meet you. Looking forward to talking again and sharing a cocktail. See you this summer!
Finally getting around to replying to comments. Been a busy few months! We will be back out in the anchorages a lot this summer!
Those Mexicans did a spot on job, keep uploading as i enjoy seeing your travels.
Seems the workers did really outstanding job!
Indeed. I highly recommend the yard.
In the wee small hours of the night when the boatyard is quiet, ATA MARIE can be heard saying, "Thank you Dougal. I knew you were the right guy for a high maintenance gal like me."
What a great video on the pitching prop and associate shaft repairs....
looks like that yard does excellent work
Fun to watch... Confirms my decision to Charter.
GREAT JOB, IMPRESSIVE AND LOOKS BEAUTIFUL‼️👍🛥⛵️. Vinny 🇺🇸
Hi)
I saw your boat for sale. It’s a pity that I won’t see any more videos from your channel.
The price is interesting, I think the second day. I remember how envious I was of you four years ago.
But I have little experience. Very inconvenient location in California. It's a shame it's not Florida.
I wish all the best to your family)
upd. I remembered how you refueled in Acapulco) this is the best video I’ve seen on the Internet)
Another great video, thank you!
Thanks for sharing...she cleaned up nicely!
This looks more professional than some businesses in the states.
If I had a yacht I’d go to them
WOW! Can’t imagine what that cost you! Looks like great workmanship!
Beautiful lines.
Glad to see you guys back on the water whete to next
Nice job , great stuff guys
Good to see your finally out of the yard, bet your glad it’s done. We were pretty impressed with the caliber of work they do at Baja Naval, and they stay busy! Cheers from John & Tracey onboard MVPAIRADICE in the Sea of Cortez.
Thanks - we were really happy with the work they did. Did I see your boat on the docks there back when we went into the yard in November?
Why yes we were. Talked with you guys briefly upon your arrival, but you were pretty busy getting hauled out. Hope all is going well and have you headed North yet?

All good here - hopefully more videos in the near future!
Good idea changing the lights to LED. That should be better in the long run. Bottom looks good and should last for a while.
One of the thru hull halogen lights had flooded and the manufacturer said they could have rebuilt it for $150. Problem was it was bedded with 3M 5200 and wouldn’t come out without a saw. I’m the end the new lights are way brighter and will last longer. Bonus is they have both blue and white color available.

Well Mr. Cassidy looks like they did a great job, love Mexico, Thank you for this video Happy safe voyage to you and your Family looking to im looking to buy one my self
Very educational, Thanks
Great video. So, love that music😂
I figured it was appropriate for the location...
Boats are such a PITA.... boats = money dump. But that life, that kind of freedom your family has...it’s hard to put a price on👍
I'm glad to see that you have increased the flow of water. I would attach a sensor to the bearing that would cause an alarm if the temperature got hot enough. You could run the wire to the nearest alarm box. I'd hate to see you ruin another bearing.

Thanks for sharing. Always like how large boats come out and in the water. I would be looking in to a flow switch at the nipple just for peace of mind.
That's really good idea - not sure if there is a flow switch designed for such a small diameter hose but I am going to do some research.
Nice video thank you
Baja Naval is on point. Loos like they run a tight ship.
Enjoyed these videos, shame there's no newer ones!
just don't see many videos of you guys, would like to see a lot more

Are you guys doing well? I'm looking forward to your next video!
Hey guys where you’ve been? Hope all is well? When is the next update?
Hopefully will start making videos again soon. It's been a weird year and we haven't been going a lot of places on the boat.
@@CassidysSailingTrawler Looking forward to the new videos
Great video. Would be interesting to see the cost of repairs.
I bet those lights are BRIGHT. There were tons of diodes on them
Very interesting.
!Viva Cassidy!, !Viva Mexico'!
Built like a tank.
Nice motor sailer.
Hey, just wondered what has happened to your guys. Enjoyed the videos and blog, but your seemed to have stopped.
Just been really busy during this weird year and not using the boat as much as hoped. Hopefully more content to come in the near future.
Impressive work. Another great video of explanation of the work. Music could have been three notches less volume!
Nice to see that the boat uses a standard stuffing box. Simple and safe. Are you using Gore GFO? It drips way less then normal packing material, requires less lubrication, and runs cooler. You can re-pack in the water if you leave the last existing ring in place.
We just used standard packing in that stuffing box but I’ve used GFO in another boat.

Now it has been 18 months. You must be there by now. :)
I hope you took advantage of the rudder being dropped to service/replace the bushings and seals for it.
What’s the annual maintenance cost of a NH56 (just regular maintenance with repairs)? And how much extra one should put aside for repairs, replacements, improvements?
Good as new! Looking like a new boat! Glad I'm not paying the bill?
Did you guys get tired of sailing? Hope all is OK.

Great boat. Does it even have any alternatives?

hope to see a new vid soon , hope all is well :)
Working on it!
I would have used Kevlar instead of fiberglass. If it ever heated up again the fiberglass could fail but the Kevlar can take the heat.
Because of the 18 foot long shaft, this boat has 2 cutlass bearings. We put the cutlass bearing that was wrapped in fiberglass in the aft position, just forward of the propeller.
