[@stevenlittler977]

What a truly amazing boat, pure perfection

[@bobjuniel8683]

I love it when you show deck plans and elevations of cabins and equipment. For me travel range at different speeds under ideal conditions, AND BAD SEA CONDITIONS, at different speeds is most important. Redundancy for me means two engines and two propellers and an emergency steering system are essential and should be included in any review. Hull thickness and construction material, especially ice class and double hull are important. How thick are those big windows? I have heard experienced boat builders say anything over 2 feet or 60cm is likely to break if lit by a rogue wave in a big sea. At sea safety comes first. I love what I see of the Steeler 61S. 👍👍👍

[@natepolitics1490]

Great points. I always wonder what the risk are with those big windows. Ever a tap from another boat and I'm sure those windows are finished.

The vessel I’ve been waiting for ! Awesome ! Great concept and, seemingly, great execution. Very impressed with every design element. The layout, propulsion, the steel hull, the interior design, robustness, low profile, bow, and the overall silhouette of the boat. I’d love to see it on the hard, and get a look at the hull shape, rudder etc. I going to sell my house! (Wether the wife wants to or not! lol She’s from a boating family - Great Lakes sailor - and she grew up spending summers aboard her fathers 46’ trawler on Lake Ontario in the Thousand Islands area. I’m a sailor with a few blue water trips under my belt - aprox 10,000 nautical miles in the Atlantic and West Indies, plus countless weeks spent on Lake Huron, Erie and Ontario on my C&C 36’. I’m retired and would love a trawler of this size, now.)

Intriguing. Would love to see/hear more about this vessel.

[@YachtBuoy]

Watch this space 👀

[@constantineding8700]

The electricity is definately the future. First, with those much much smaller electric motors, it frees up tons of space in the center of engine room. Second, the motors drink power from the same source as all other appliances onboard, which makes it easier to mnage. Third, we can use several generators combined with solar panels to power the boat, which means if one or two of the generators fail the boat can still power itself to the next destination.

[@YachtBuoy]

Please let us know when someone has done an Atlantic crossing in one. I doubt that it is possible today but I am hoping to be proven wrong because I love the idea.

[@jdray]

Please do a more in-depth follow-up video on this yacht. Just subscribed after following for a while. Would like answers to: * Ten hours at what speed? * How many kWh is in the battery bank? * How long can the ship sit at anchor on a full battery charge? * What's the range on battery only (answered by the first question, but never hurts to re-ask)? * What would a production version of this craft cost? * Would this system scale down into the 45-50' range?

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching and subscribing 🙌 I will take a screen shot of these Q’s 👍

[@havgapen]

The ten hours is at about 5,5 knots. Battery bank is 184kWh. 3-5 days at anchor. 30-50nm on battery bank only. All builds are completely custom. Building cost is higher than a regular fossile build, but running cost is lower, the investment last longer, and the sailing experience is much better, in my opinion. The technical systems will scale very well both downwards and upwards. The clue is to not be pushy on speed.

[@jonageskuland]

Cool! This gave me some really good ideas on how to build an all electric yacht. One full floor of battery, maybe two floors. And a roof that can be stretched forward and backward (sliced out) when at sea. So it covers the whole length of the boat, and width! This is a trippellayer roof with solar pannels, and thus gives 3x the solarpower.. When docked, the roof is sliced back to the normal position

[@rb2712]

I have concerns about lithium battery fires, can't put them out. I will be all in when the master the sodium ion batterys

[@melanie7781]

I love this trawler.

[@kfeltenberger]

For those who want electric, I think this is a good first step. Wider has been doing this for a couple years and it's nice to see it trickling down to the smaller market. While it's nice to say, "it's electric", it really isn't as it still requires a generator for several hours every 8-10 hours. Still, if some of the battery announcements over the past few months work out, it may be possible to extend the "every 8 hours" to every couple days or every couple weeks (depending on the battery technology and how well it can be moved from the lab to commercial applications).

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for the comment 🙌 I can imagine one of these with a large retractable wind or water turbine that can charge the batteries whilst underway. Although, I’m not sure about the science behind this technology so I have no idea as to how big the wind/water turbine would need to be in order to negate the need for the generator 🤔

[@jdray]

@@YachtBuoy Those wind turbines are probably 500W, so both of them going at full clip would produce 1kWh in one hour, which isn't enough to put a serious dent in even house power consumption. And they'd produce drag underway. But at anchor on a windy, cloudy day, they can supplement the solar. Not sure why they didn't entirely carpet the pilothouse roof with solar, which would've been better than adding the wind turbines.

[@RA-lj5jd]

@@jdray this is not built for the Mediterranean only. It features a Norwegian flag, and in a climate like that wind is pretty reliable.

[@jdray]

@@RA-lj5jd, sure. But there have been several studies that indicate that, including maintenance, depreciation, etc., given that a wind turbine of that size doesn't have much output, wind is far more costly per kWh produced than solar. I'd be interested to see how the turbines on this boat perform over two or three years.

[@joshlower1]

They make SAILBOATS for a reason

[@db58]

Thanks for the video. I really like this in concept and execution. Very modern interpretation of a trawler yacht and I love the propulsion system. With the large battery capacity, solar and wind generators, you should be able to go many days at anchor without ever turning on the generator. Looking forward to future updates!

I like trawler yachts, especially electric. No high cost of fuel less moving parts, low maintenance costs. More people can afford to travel by boat.

[@MrSpleenboy]

Fantastic concept, and about time electric motors get more use (obviously the likes of silent yachts, some greenline and possibly sunreef use them, but pretty much everyone else is still on diesel). Wheel at the door of the wheelhouse is also very sensible, allows for single handed operation, and since it's an expedition yacht operating at displacement speeds, you'd only rarely need the wheel in normal navigation outside of the marina. Looks like a proper sturdy little ship :) Still waiting on that Lottery win though!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment 🙌 good luck with those numbers 👍

[@joshlower1]

Diesel is and shall remain king.

[@asimsparks]

This is diesel too. Diesel generator charging batteries. It's twice as harmful to environment.

[@douglasward4311]

Amazing

[@TheFlooringInspector82]

Love the boat and it looks stunning. Has the builder mentioned anything about projected range? I know it is still undergoing sea trials now but I'd be interested to know if this is a true trans-oceanic vessel. It rated for it sure, but I would be interested to see on a typical crossing what the fuel consumption numbers would look like. Obviously you'd be running the generator 4-8 hours a day depending on weather and other variables. I'm more of a numbers guys when it comes to explorer vessels. More is better, I always like seeing a true range well over 4000 nautical miles and lots of redundancy in the systems.

[@MannyB-b7l]

It was noted that it takes 2 hours of charging to top up the batteries for a 10 hour run. It would appear that the fuel tanks do not need to be large to accommodate a 3000nm range, for example.

[@jstefa2]

@@MannyB-b7l you will need the same or even slightly more fuel for a transatlantic crossing... the inefficiencies of charging and discharging the batteries is what gets you. and fuel has the same amount of energy in it no matter what you spin... a propeller or a generator. dont get me wrong... this is great for visiting fjords or delicate ecosystems, but it wont save you any fuel. and as for the solar panels... they are more of a fashion statement and tricklecharge for the batteries at dock.

[@whattodonext312]

@@jstefa2 I'm not sure that is correct. Can yhou explain in more detail?

[@jstefa2]

@@whattodonext312 laws of thermodynamics... if you burn fuel for energy it doesn't matter how you get it to the propeller... if you want your engines to be stationary for half the time you will need to burn double the fuel for the other half to keep the same speed. half the fuel for propulsion and other half to charge the batteries. having batteries on board for cross Atlantic is not an efficiency solution... its comfort solution so you don't have engines rattling during the night.

[@barryholiday8998]

Curious why they didn’t go for a narrower bow like the FBS Dashew style trawlers. Also, they should have extended the roof over the aft deck to have more solar.

[@garylee3229]

I’d change up the two wind mill generators on top, use Tulip generators, more efficient.

[@canucklehead0]

She's a looker, and I love the advantage of having a genset onboard that will charge the entire bank of batteries in a couple of hours. I do have a few questions though, considering this is about to change the world as we know it. John, having seen the two vessels up close and personal like, which would you chose? As I think I already know your answer, would the technology in the Steeler 61 fit into the Arksen? I bloody well hope so!! The other biggie I have is how expensive are the batteries and what is the charge life? Thanks as always for your hard work, Mate! Cheers - Dave

[@YachtBuoy]

Good questions 🙌 re the two boats, I would need to see them both ‘face to face’ to make a decision

[@canucklehead0]

@@YachtBuoy They are that close eh? So even if you could put the Steeler 61's entire propulsion system and electrics etc. into the Arksen, you are saying it's close enough to need to see them face to face? Man, do we ever live in a glorious time! I'll likely never own either of them sadly (not without some divine intervention or a massive Lottery Win!! Or both!!) but just to know they even exist makes me smile! Take care, John! Can't wait to see what you find next!! Oh and how great is the Isle of Wight right now! Not only producing boats like the Arksen line, but also having a band like "Wet Leg" hail from there,...pretty cool, and good for them!!

Would be nice to know more about that electric propulsion system. What's the capacity? How far can it take you, and at what speed? How many screws? Thrusters? Can it be charged via shore power if you don't want to run the generator? How much power does the solar provide? How is the house power provided--same battery, or a separate system? Do you need the generator while on anchor or is the solar enough? Also... what's the thing going to cost? I assume they're planning on making more than one of them.

During a storm while using the electric motor can you charge the batteries with the Volvo motor?

[@jdray]

I think the Volvo is the genset, probably 100 kW. So two hours of runtime would get 200 kWh of battery charged, which sounds about right for pushing a ship like this for ten hours.

[@RobertJones-ty5mg]

Did I miss the range and consumption data? Obviously, batteries need to be charged and that isn't coming from solar panels alone. How big are the fuel tanks and how far can you go with that amount of fuel? Thank you.

I'm a couple of years late to the party here, but I love the idea of electric vessels, and I have a question about this one. If you're going to run an electric motor, why fit the vessel with so few solar panels? Surely you could cut back significantly on the need to run the generator if you were incorporate more solar into the design. Maybe this is something the manufacturer has worked on in the last 2 years, or maybe my question comes from a place of ignorance. I would love to be enlightened.

If EU will forbid the selling of any gasoline/diesel cars 2035 we could hope that there will come some harder enviromental demands regarding boats to. I don't understand how some think that it's ok to blow massive exhausts into the sea? I have a small 25 feet long fishingboat with a 93hp Valmet. I drive it 10-20 hours every year (that's 100-200 liters of diesel) but every time we are about to co to our "summer cottage" I try to find a reason to take the car instead. It burns less fuel and cleaner, should be better for the enviroment. Now (at least here in Finland) people talk about that the expendive fuel is keeping boats at shore. I think that that is true, but I think that we (who don't have loads of cash) are thinking quite alot more about if it is necessary to govout with the boat and what impact it makes. Take care and have a nice summer ☀️😎!
