Come take a ride with us on the Columbia during a storm. It'll make a fly bridge believer out of you.That’s how I see flybridges generally.

IMO, the flybridge is a long way from the AC, head, food and drink.

Stabilized 49' Lord Nelson Victory Tug with lots of photos. One of the best for sale by owner websites I've seen:
Lord Nelson Victory Tug 49' For Sale – Listed Price $445, 000 Cdn
Really great tug type Trawler. Here in Europe also one of 49 for sale, sailing on its own keel across the Atlantic, so obviously very seaworthy, Do you have any personal experience?
Too bad the additional photos didn't open for some reason.

The survey will be updated this week to reflect the recent work, but apparently apart from a couple of minor things, nothing needs doing. The fish are not rigged yet (the booms used to swing aft; now they sit vertical), and we will be looking into that tomorrow.
The only thing she does not have is a complementary solar system: all refrigeration is 240V, and I see no battery systems. The two x 200W-panel system that feeds the house batteries on Seabiscuit work very well, and the 12V Engel upright fridge is a power-sipper—so if we do get this boat, that will need to be done. The alternative is to only have refrigeration when under way, running the genny, or tied to the marina.
Only 240v fridges, all 5 of them, seems odd. There should be plenty of space up top for panels.Must be some battery system serving the house, unless it`s like the IG set up where the start batts do house too, and somehow it works. Can`t see that serving the use this boat is capable of. But you likely have the Survey which would be more informative than the advert.The only thing she does not have is a complementary solar system: all refrigeration is 240V, and I see no battery systems.

Argh I love it! What a galley! I can see myself spending hours cooking in that galley. This is a surprising layout but a nice one for me.It's on the wrong side of the Atlantic and likely has a 50hz electric system to deal with, but assuming the fuel capacity is 4 tanks of 1250 liters each rather than total, I really like the lines and layout of this one!

Oh man, that is a good one. Looks a little like a Diesel Duck? That galley! The engine room!
All it needs is a mast and some steadying sails and she would be good to go. [emoji6]

This Romsdal has likely made this thread before but here is your chance to own her.
I was next to her in Cairns a year and half ago and as I recall she looked to be in decent shape.

I'd also be wanting to know why the hull was glassed.
This one has been on the market for a few years now in Tasmania Australia. 70' Wooden ex- fishing boat; running an old Cat 3408. The price is $98000 AUD plus GST etc. Apparently built by Western Boat Building Co in 1951.
