Would you wander the ICW or cross an ocean aboard this pod‑driven passagemaker? Beneteau Swift Trawler 50 © Beneteau Length: 49 ft 2 in (14.99 m) Beam: 15 ft 3 in (4.65 m) Draft: 3 ft 5 in (1.05 m) Displacement: approx. 35,264 lb (16,000 kg) Top Speed: 24.8 knots Cruising Speed: 18–22 knots Range: approx. 300 nm at 18 kt Fuel Capacity: \~714 US gal (2×357 gal) Water Capacity: \~212 US gal Price: approx. US\$ 900,000 The Swift Trawler 50 redefines the classic trawler by pairing halo-like comfort and efficiency with Volvo Penta IPS600 pod drives. You get joystick docking, minimal roll, and performance that feels more sport cruiser than passagemaker (tested top end of 24.8 kt, cruising at 22 kt at 3,500 rpm) ([Canadian Boating][1], [Motor Boat & Yachting][2], [Boat Magazine International][3], [HMY Yachts][4]). Its semi‑displacement hull is optimised for IPS and trims tabs, delivering smooth economy—with modest fuel burn (\~70 L/hr at 11 kt) and up to \~317 nm range on a tank ([Trade A Boat][5]). Below decks, choose between layouts: three double cabins or two doubles plus an office and extra berth. The U‑shaped galley, dumbwaiter serving the flybridge, high bulwarks and panoramic pilothouse windows enhance liveability and safety at sea ([Beneteau][6]). While the build trades off some robustness for weight savings and interior volume, users praise the space, comfort and agility—even if not built for the toughest offshore conditions ([Reddit][7]). #BeneteauYachts #SwiftTrawler50 #LongRangeCruiser #HarbourMasters

A productive day on the sailboat. The permanent solution to the bilge pump issue where I bypassed the old switch, and a temporary solution to the failed shore-power battery charger. I will have to work on the permanent battery charging solution. I need a flexible charger that works from plugged-in shore power, and the future solar array. Does anyone have any recommendations? Now it is Happy Hour in the sun of the cockpit with Cara. She is adjusting well to life on the boat. There are so many places for us to explore around the marina. She goes for walks and beach romps multiple times a day. But mostly, she is content to just hang out with us and bask in the sunlight. #sailboatrestoration #livingonasailboat
