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

After plans for joining a boat for the Volvo Round Ireland Race fell through, we were determined to get out and get some footage of some of the leading boats passing down through the Irish Sea. At around 2000 on Sunday night we headed out in 20 knots of breeze in a 6M Rib to try catch the 3 MOD70's which were competing, But unfortunately these were just too fast. Our next target was to try catch George David's Juan K Canting Keel Rambler 88 the next morning. We set off at around 5am in light winds and headed North to meet the boat as it passed The Maidens off Larne. We stayed with the boat for around 30 minutes and even though the breeze was only a Force 3, Rambler still was racing along at around 14 knots. We are interested in getting involved with some offshore sailing for the 2017/2018 season. As well as event coverage we'd love to sponsor a yacht for an online media campaign, including video, photography and social media. Get in touch via info@sixnineone.co for a chat about what we can do for you.
