Examining the crucial element often overlooked in trawler design: effective stabilization at cruising RPMs. We detail why standard fin sizing fails to deliver the expected roll reduction for the typical 10-knot journey. By implementing significantly upscaled fins—like the 9-foot square units here—we achieve near-total roll elimination across all operational speeds, accepting a negligible impact on absolute top-end performance. This commitment to passenger comfort, evident across all our builds, prioritizes real-world usability over theoretical maximum speed figures. This is the foundation of superior long-range cruising aboard the Northwest 55. #Northwest55 #ExpeditionTrawler #YachtTour #LuxuryYacht #YachtLens #SeattleBoatShow #TrawlerLife #LongRangeCruising #SeattleYachts #trawler #yacht #boat #stabilization #maritime #technology #yacht #design #roll #reduction #wave #smart #boat #review #cruising #comfort #northwest #yachts
