The Susan Gael near us in the yard is about as full as full disp boats get. Built of steel in Holland for a British man. The boat had to wait a year for delivery because there was a stipulation she had to endure an 80 knot North Sea gale before delivery. A demanding customer to be sure. I met the present owner today and got these bits of information and his permission to post.
The fore section is not very unusual except for her obvious heft. But the aft section is short by comparison and has a very steep buttock line. She has no FB, stabilizers, fwd slant windows, no wood much less teak and a prop more typical of a smaller trawler. It looks like the house, windows and all the rest of Susan Gael would be well up to the 80 knot gale.
I'm pleased to be in the company of such a serious trawler.
