The Eaglecraft boats are ubiquitous around here, as the builder is located here. Most are built for commercial work such as water taxis and fishing boats but they do make some nice recreational boats as well.
The outboard at the back is used for going at trolling speeds while fishing. Generally recreational boats use trolling valves but this is another option.

I like it, but nearly a 1000 horsepower to cruise at 10 knots on a 68 footer doesn't really make sense to me.

Sumner Craft,
How many know what a Sumner Craft is?
I didn’t until I bought one.
It’s a 29’ composit wood and FG.
It’s initially built like a strip planked wood boat.
Plywood sections are cut out like bulkheads and attached to a strongback as in typical wood boat construction. Then the planking is laid on the cross sections that give the hull it’s shape. Next the outside of the hull is fiberglassed in the typical way. Then the whole structure is stiffened to stay aligned while being inverted and re-aligned. Right-side-up and again aligned the formers (like bulkheads) are removed. Then the inside of the hull is fiberglassed. The resulting hull is finished partly like a FG boat and partly like a wood boat.

Looking at pics #3 and 4 show a keel shape that throws water sideways into an advancing propeller blade ... like a jet engine’s stator blades. Extra thrust being the expected advantage.
By the way this was a 1961 boat. Made in Amitiville N.Y.

Eric - I vaguely recall Sumner Craft from the 1960's. Might have read about it in a boating magazine. I was addicted to reading those mags while in my teens. When did you own a Sumner?

Art,
2005.
I think Sumner Craft built more motorsailers than cruisers. The motorsailers were mostly 31’. I use the word cruiser because that’s what she was and is. I had numerous original brochures promoting the boats as open blue water boats claiming great seaworthyness. She was one-of-a-kind.

Interesting boats

If I was really going to go places I’d get this boat. It’s kind of a bigger version of what I have, but with better outside seating, way more interior room, nice size engine space and work bench, big galley, nice pilothouse seating area. These boats supposed to be fuel efficient with great range, and stable underway with the sails up and decent wind. Interesting boomless mainsail rig. Not sure how that works?

Most probably won’t like it because it’s a motorsailer with most of the living space down below, but I think it’s a neat boat.

From Seahorse's website:

EASY TO USE BOOMLESS RIG: The furling mainsail on the Mandarin 52 is sheeted to an atwarthship spreader bar located between double backstays. This is an ideal rig for a motorsailer. The dangerous and often troublesome boom is eliminated and jibing is about as exciting as moving your handkerchief from one pocket to another. Furling and reefing are handled the same as the genoa.

Interestingly, though, there are two other Mandarin 52's for sale on Boats.com and both of these come WITH booms.

As a motor sailor you'll know that you spend most of your time sheeted in. This is because the apparent wind, thanks to your motoring speed, is generally well forward of the beam. Unless it's piping up and then you don't need to motor and just sail.

Which I don't think this will do well. In fact, it can become quite unruly in anything above.... say 10-15. So down it comes, and now you're running jib alone and you're autopilot is working it's a55 off and the batteries are heading south in a hurry. And you lose the stabilization it brings. So as a long time sailor with quite a few miles of off shore in occasionally challenging conditions this is a NO.

Just learn to deal with the "dangerous boom". It's fine. Or just go power and get some stabilizers which is the road I'll be heading down.

The simple solution for most motor sailors especially inshore is a fully battened mainsail.

The camber is created by batten tension and if motoring directly into the wind the sail does not sake and flog itself to death.

As most folks cruise at a fixed RPM the sail simply adds to the boat speed when the wind is favorable.

I’m gonna guess that furled mainsail is not battened, unless it’s vertically battened?

When it’s really windy and I need some stabilization I’ve used just the jib with good results. It’s much easier for me to furl up the jib in a blow than the in-mast mainsail.
