An objective look at the leading contenders for serious coastal and offshore cruising reveals distinct mission priorities. For the adventurous coastal exploration, one vessel stands out, while the demands of long-range passage making point decisively toward a different class of vessel. The North Pacific 590 Skylounge merits close examination; at 62 feet, this machine operates with the gravitas of a small ship, boasting impressive specifications like twin Cummins QSL9s, electric fin stabilizers, and a fully finished, climate-controlled upper lounge area. It represents the apex of current long-range trawler design, meticulously laid out for efficient operation. This compilation distills viewer data to present the most compelling options for liveaboard comparison. #1 #BoatTour #4 #2 #Passagemaker #Trawler #3 #YachtReview #YachtLens #Trawler #Yachting #Passagemaker #North #Pacific #Yachts #Boat #Tour #Long #Range #Cruising #Sea #Piper #37 #Luxury #Trawler #Boating
There came a point in Luke Powell’s long lifetime in boats when he realised that the wooden ones, and the skills to build them, were disappearing. He decided to do something about it the only way he knew - hands-on. Since moving to Cornwall from Kent in the 1990s, the result of this labour of love is a fleet of beautifully, traditionally built pilot cutters: EVE, LIZZIE MAY, AGNES, HESPER, EZIRA, TALLULAH, AMELIE ROSE, FREYA, and the largest yet, the remarkable PELLEW, in which Luke had the time and the task to pass-on his accumulated knowledge to a future generation. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/747/PELLEW In preserving skills in this way, the wonderful by-product has been to create a desire for experiencing and owning these vessels. As Luke says: “There’s something quite profound about being on something that is not of our time... When you sail on a boat like this, it’s a time machine; it takes you back to another place; it’s not just an object of conveyance. Whereas a modern boat is like a car - just a factory made object that does no more than take you from A to B - PELLEW takes you through time and space.” PELLEW is a faithful recreation of one of the longest surviving and best documented of Falmouth’s Pilot cutters, VINCENT. The original boat was built in 1852 for the Vincent family of St Mawes. She worked for 70 years until she was retired in 1922, ending her days on the Percuil River as a house-boat. After four years in conception and build, on Saturday 29th February 2020 PELLEW joined a select group of leap year launched vessels when she was gently craned into the Truro River. One of the largest and fastest Pilot Cutters to be built in modern times, PELLEW has subsequently enjoyed the busy life of a successful charter boat. There is nothing like her.
