White AT
When most of us see American Tugs (trawlers) they usually are non-white. Some beautiful ... some not so much.
Lately while walking to my boat on K float (in front of the AT facilities) I saw this virgin white AT. All the rest of the boat white too. I call it virgin white as she seemed so unblemished ... simply beautiful. No fly bridge or embellishments at all. All things beautiful and without embellishments expose the real entity for what it is. And as you can see here this American Tug is a very proper trawler that looks just right .... IMO

Nothing too unusual other than it’s powered by a single Cat 3408. Don’t see many single screw Defevers above, what, 41’ in length?

That Defever is an interesting boat. Single diesel is fantastic. A bit dated interior but it is 40 years old of course. It would be a nightmare to be watering 26 batteries, but luckily they are AGMs.
Did anyone notice the very cool crow's nest on top? I wonder what that big radar, mounted at "balls height" would do to the captain's manliness???
Not a bad value if can be had for 200k even.

Yea Mako, The radar may settle some arguments about "shall we have children".
And it looks like he dosn't care what's behind him.
Boy those tents are sure ugly things.

I saw this one in person today. Lady Sandals, a 80's vintage Feadship, and one of many Gallant Ladies. Maybe not terribly interesting, and definitely not a trawler, but the fact that she was in Cleveland this morning is certainly unusual. Monaco Cleveland ain't.
She has aged rather better than I have since 1985, though.

This has GOT to be the most interesting boat I think I have ever seen. I WISH I could convince my partner because I'd go down there tomorrow cash in hand!

Damn nice rig! Only prob I see is that from pilot station on the bridge its bow is a non-view. I like seeing all side-edges as well as front and back of boat from the bridge.

Glad I don’t have more money, I’d be too tempted on this one!

Agree, that is a beauty. I suffered over a Willard 40 Staysail catch for years, and this one is pretty close.

Yeah, I noticed that. With two 50’s, I think it could run quite easily on one. I don’t particularly like the props hanging out there though. No photos of the ER.

Half trawler half motorsailer? Looks more like a trawler with masts to me. Either way a boat like this makes me consider questionable financial decisions.

Beautiful looking boat. The furniture comes with the boat too?
Hmmm, built in the US and currently in Greece? Could bring it back to the US on its own bottom.

Iszis the Willard TooCoys posted?
If I was to go w twins (and I would if I had the money) I’d do it exactly the same way. Engines tight in toward the keel. Vulnerability almost as low as a single. And absolutely no propwalk if they are CR.
Speaking of keels that’s not a Willard keel. Willard keels don’t have the cut-outs. It’s probably a Fales. Looks longer too .. perhaps a 38’?
She seems cheap for what she is. Checkbook open. Oh my.
It’s too bad she would clearly be so demanding. I could happily throw a small fortune away on something that looks that good. Too bad I don’t have one!
Very beautiful boat...
