DD492 INTRODUCTIONOur DD492 trawler yacht, lines of which designed by George Buehler asserious ocean going trawler, is our most favourite and established LRC model.These trawler yachts are built by Seahorse Marine in China with constructionto China Ship Classification Society (CCS) practice, weld X-ray NDT(non-destructive test), seal and tank pressure tests; Sea trial, incline test andstability calculation on completed boats, etc.
The DD492 is also built to meet CE Module B Category A requirements and official CE Certification is provided.
Starting from Hull #17 we expanded her length by 1’ from LOA 50’ to LOA 51’.
To better describe her LOA we call her DD492 (49’+2’=51’).
This circomnavigation trawler is a very seaworthy and livable ocean passagemaker.
Great for live aboard and serious ocean crossings.
Take the sail assist device as an example:
Most propulsion failures are caused by fuel problems (too much air in the fuel tanks!)
which means the diesel get home propulsion also fails. George Buehler designed the sail assist rig for safe harbor propulsion, and it works. One DD-462 sailed 600 miles to a safe harbor when the John Deere injection pump failed. The sail rig is easy to use and also stabilizes the vessel and decreases fuel use, often by 25%.
Remark:
Boat can be arranged for shipping to any major int’l port all over the world if not sail away.
Boat registration in Owner’s dedicated reagion/country can be pre-done prior to delivery from Seahorse Marine yard. Details to be arranged with each dedicated case.
