So times have changed and I'm back in the market for a boat (soon). My eye has turned towards 50-60ft Nordhavn, Selene, KK, etc types. I want something with a long range and that can operate for weeks or even months off grid. (My background is a sailboat sailor and I've spent many years in the Caribe in far off places avoiding marinas and exploring quiet places.) I want to go far again but this time I'm wanting a trawler.
Now my question, coming from ignorance, is how comfortable are these trawlers at anchor? I know the smaller vessels often deploy flopper stoppers, however, I don't see this often on the bigger boats. I'm assuming that at some point the anchor stabilization system just gets too big and cumbersome? How do people in say a Selene 60 handle a rolly anchorage? Is the size and stability of the boat just "good"? Do they run a generator the whole time and keep stabilizers on?
Some background - Last boat was a 44ft long 25ft wide sailing catamaran. Most anchorages were comfortable and no problem on that platform. I'm worried going to a trawler will make my partner seas sick at anchor and we tend to spend MOST of our time on the boat in anchorages.
Curious to hear thoughts on this.
