From 1999 to 2004 DISCOVERY was lavished during her conversion in Seattle. $12m was reportedly overspent on her.
The interior was beautifully executed with a very nautical feel to it. The Master Stateroom is as big as any 140�er I have been on. The Main Salon is cozy with a wood burning fire place. The engine room is clean and the single Enterprise main engine, although relatively unknown, appeared to be reliable along with the rest of the machinery and equipment.
The Pilot House I could spend time cruising in with friends. The over all layout was a bit fragmented but beautifully executed.
The outside spaces are comfortable and teak is every where there is deck. The Douglas fir hand rails have handsome graining. This is a man�s boat. The steel hull appears to be in good condition along with the tanks tops that were replaced during the refit. The machinery is dry stack (including the fire place). DISCOVERY is a vessel meant to be at sea. I have current photography to show her condition and would be happy to share them and my further observations.

I am very intrigued by this company. I was wondering if anybody knows anything about them personally and not what is just on their website. I love their Expedition 75' with extended sky lounge and Portuguese Bridge. I would definitely go trans-atlantic with that. http://www.realships.com

Looks like they have taken their design ques from Nordhavn. http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/nordhavn-yacht/3810-nordhavn-55-trawler.html http://www.nordhavn.com/72/overview.php4 Maybe this should be in the "Design or Copy?" tread.

Loren... where are you?

Zzzzzzzzzz.....HUH!? Sorry, gang, been on serious vacation and preparing for a Smokies expedition as well. Responding to Carl's well-aimed kick to the backside, here's the dope: outmywindow, the Nordhavn design and the Real Ships design are markedly different--- steel v. FRP, interior accommodations, hull shape, machinery arrangements...well, check out the listing for the 77 that I made up which explains more in detail-- https://www.boatwizard.com/core/lis...=Users&listing_id=25424&url=realships&lang=en The greatest similarity is that both the Nordy and the RS are LSD (Long Slow Distance) boats... and we think the world of Jim Leishman's designs. So, a "design copy"? Please. The look of Real Ships hasn't changed markedly for the 12 years since inception. CaptTom, Billy Joel's "Red Head" was/is a Florida Bay Coaster 65-footer. We were the sales agents for them until Achilles bought & moved the operation down to Guatemala and we found that folks did not warm up to building a boat in a Banana Republic. rymert19, thanks for the kind words. The 75 morphed into the 77 due to client requirements. Two are currently under construction at the yard in Bayou Labatre. They run in the neighborhood of $3.5M. Hope this wasn't too commercial a plug requiring editing, but that's it in a nutshell. Now, where's that Coleman lantern anyway?
I think real ships makes a pretty vessel

Who knows where this stuff comes from? That is a shot of "Kokomo", the second of the 68 series Expedition boats and was most likely taken about three years ago, just prior to delivery to her owners. That large center console on the foredeck was ditched for a much smaller RIB early on resulting in a marked reduction of mashed fingers/shearguards/hullsides during launching & retrieval.

Yipes...this is a tough audience! Design or Copy? That's a cheap shot based, I'd guess, simply on having the house set well aft. Vast differences between the Real Ships and the Nordhavn, and not just in materials. Loren's absolutely right...these are two different critters. If you want to look for similarities, go all the way back to the '50s and take a look at the Romsdal trawlers out of Norway. I've been aboard a couple of Real Ships, and these are just that: real ships, not toy yachts. Really well thought out, built to high standards, seamanlike. Were built in Louisiana, but soon to be built at a commercial yard in Brazil to keep price in line without sacrificing strength and quality. If you haven't been aboard one, check one out at Lauderdale. It's a lesson in how to do it right.

Unrequired Speculation... YachtForums said: Well Jim, while you find it intriguing because it's a sector in which you have specific interest (read: a listing), others have a more 'vested' interest in swaying popular opinion, such as a builder posing as an unaffiliated consumer to elevate the interest of his/her own product. "dmzuniga's" previous post's read like the promotional rhetoric most of us have come to loathe... and the primary reason that 20,000+ people have become members of YF... to gain knowledge from their peers, not from those who have something to sell. If I find a connection between a poster and a product, I'll not only ban the member, I'll remove any mention, *anywhere*, on YachtForums. I have done this with builders who could have very well become advertisers. It's not about money here. It's about community and maintaining the integrity of the resource our very knowledgeable members have built. Click to expand...

Description
With many different kinds of trawler yachts being built today, it's important to really understand the kind of long distance cruising that you plan to do. Cruising on your yacht for days, weeks, or even months on board can present a variety of challenges, but is one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences in boating. Owning a trawler with the ability to run long distances brings out your inner explorer, quenching your desire to discover places you've never seen while also feeding it. Whether you plan on cruising the Pacific Northwest, island hopping in the Caribbean, or taking on the Great Loop, before you make a selection on a trawler, it's best to discuss your plans with an experienced, knowledgeable broker that can walk you through the differences in some of the brands, styles, and capabilities.
SPEAK TO A SALES PROFESSIONAL
Finding yourself slowing things down in your world due to the crazy rush of information and speed all around us? Decided you’re ready for a boat, or have one but feel a shift in your style and aren’t ready to dig too deep into your pockets for one but would like a more economical choice to escape the frenzy in? Well, then fast your gaze upon what is known as a trawler - a perfect option for those seeking all of the above points just mentioned. Please meet the well-known boat type - a trawler - which is simply a price conscious motorboat with a full-displacement, ballasted hull that possesses just that perfect cruising range for those long-ocean passages you’ll be heading out on to decompress from the never ending present day chaos.
Below are some of the well-known trawler yacht brands in the industry :
- American Tug
- Fleming Cruising Yachts
- Kadey-Krogen Yachts
- Mainship Yachts
- Marlow Yachts
- Nordhavn Yachts
- Outer Reef Yachts
- Ranger Tug Boats
As Ferrari is to sexy race cars, trawlers are to functional ‘workboat-look’ recreational boats. Yes, ‘trawler’ is a classic, non-Euro ‘look’. This lends itself to a specific so called, ‘trawler lifestyle’ which translates to a sailor’s cruising lifestyle with the power of a motorboat. Those who appreciate their boat to have excellent sea keeping skills coupled with the range to take you to far - off hideaways, are in for a real treat when setting out on a trawler. Invite your family and friends as the trawler yachts offer long-term living accommodations - perfect for desiring an ‘at anchor’ remote boat getaway. These ‘small packages with a punch’ will carry, launch, and retrieve your tender too - thanks to her efficient crane.
Listing some of the trawlers other features, such as anchor accommodations, reverse windows, a pilot house, and walk around decks for line handling and docking, you’ll find this type of boat is well equipped for leisure and fun!
So get your calendar out and block off a stretch of time, as the trawler embraces trips like those!
Once a commercial fishing boat, the trawler has evolved to meet all boater requests of this present day resembling a comfortable home with the benefit of never having to jump in and out of your car as you’ll be motoring above sea level from one port to the next sipping on your favorite island cocktail and popping shrimp cocktails! You can choose from a more basic trawler or go all out with designing one that rivals a luxury yacht with all it’s out of this world comforts.
Don’t be surprised if that block of time turns into calling your realtor to put your house on the rental market as you’ve decided to set out aboard your sweet ride on the water for months on end or even decided to drop the home and move aboard! We don’t see why you couldn’t if your spirit has been calling you out to a sea salt life as there’ll be no compromise in comfort with the trawler’s private staterooms for nights dreaming above the ocean, full galleys to prepare scrumptious fresh-caught fish dinners, and roomy galleys to gather in and share island stories. Why should long-distance cruising be any less as it’s equally important getting to your dream destination. Slow and steady, you’ll be pleased to see the fuel bill is allowing you extra funds for elaborate dinners out or that new tender you’ve been eyeing.
If you’re more of a tropical breeze cruiser, then by all means, get her ready to cruise south for the winter to extend the warm months aboard. The journey up and back on the intracoastal waterway has been traveled by many with the same idea to keep that summer warmth going! You’ll appreciate how little fuel she’ll consume and that excellent range we continue to remind you of too. Built for voyages such as these, the builders have kept the size of the engine areas to a minimal and chose displacement hulls to aid in cutting through the seas instead of sucking up tons of power. Your search for a super trawler is doable as you’ll find many to be ocean-crossing water babies. If you want the speedier versions, there are a few builders who can accommodate you in making that dream come true on your trawler too. And don’t be fearful you’ll have to give up the low fuel bills, as even the fast trawlers typically offer superior fuel economy than many different powerboat styles.
What we find our clients greatly appreciate is the trawler’s expansive cabin space even on the smaller models and some can offer aft cabins in the rear and some manufacturers pulled all stops out and in their larger models have been known to add multiple deck levels to these ever evolving sweet ‘floating packages’.
We hope you’ve come to see that there are numerous reasons many of our clients love trawlers of all sizes because you don’t always need a yacht-sized vessel to make your dreams of venturing to remote ports in comfort and efficiency a reality without exhausting the retirement savings account.

The Romsdal may have been the first production trawler yacht when she was introduced in the late 1950s. Her design, borrowed from fishing vessel lines, certainly influenced others, including the creators of the Nordhavn family of yachts. The Malahides drawn by Stapleton have a similar raised pilothouse, set well aft, and an expansive foredeck.
