Here is another nice Canadian boat. Could easily load up the top with solar panels and live on the hook.

One strange thing about this boat (for some people) is the lack of headroom. I emailed the broker a couple of years ago— the headroom is only 6’ throughout most of the boat.
I looked for the old email and couldn’t find it, but I’m pretty sure I’m not misremembering.

Saw this one at Budds bay in Olympia today. Pretty wooden ketch on what looks like a trawler hull. I’ve been up here since before Christmas to stay a month or so visiting my daughter and grandkids.
Sure rains a lot up here.

Re the colors you’re probably just conservative. But you’re right the fabrics are awfull. I’d change them before showing the boat. Blue on the hull would be nice.
But I can’t belive you compared the Nordhavn 46 to this red thing. Not even from the same planet. Not slam’in you as your posts are usually knowledgeable and interesting. You must see something I don’t. Or I see something you don’t .... like that awfull hull. Forget the color what were you actually seeing here?
As a trawler, I'd be interested. Masts are to tall for the areas I would take it. Then again, sails up and head over to Europe for a grand tour.View attachment 71911

Hollywood have you noticed how little that big red thing draws. Can’t weigh very much and w all that house the CG can’t be very low.
Actually the comparison to the Nordy's were for completely different thoughts,
There is a resemblance to the N40 in the overall above the waterline look, large frontal percentage, high bow.
Looking at the comparison to the N46, there are few boats that really fit into this category.. KK42 is really the only competition. But as most use N46's as coastal cruisers this boat, if it is as fuel miserly as advertised fits into this group. It also appears to be laid out pretty well, appears to have nice joinery, has long legs, and appears to have quite the living cube for a 40' "trawler type".
I would investigate this boat if I was in the market for a KK42 for sure.. It and some of the Diesel Ducks are only the real competition for the small Nordhavn's.
As I have never seen a nova Scotia in person I cannot attest to it quality.
I do still stand by my thoughts on the tacky colors/patterns/mural on the boat... but of course that is just an opinion.

Find a patch of old growth rain forest, preferably with a stream during salmon season, and take a walk during a heavy rain where everything is dripping, the stream is running fast but clean, and mist is rolling through the trees...then it’ll all make sense.
Love the colors on this boat, as well the boat. A very nice boat for the PNW.
The PNW is not burning up, flooding, have tornadoes, hurricanes, freezing,rioting. Life has its moments, but the PNW is not sharing them at the moment.
A bit wet? Try the 150 plus inches annual average here in Ketchikan.
To some that is really wet. To those of us who choose to reside her in the PNW with the greatest of pleasure would take issue with the conclusion drawn. Just saying
Not, sure I drew any conclusion other than it has rained a lot while I’ve been here. [emoji943] [emoji41]. I let the readers make up there own conclusions on whether that’s a good thing.
And I found the boat pictured interesting.
I have visited Ketchikan and will likely do so again. I brought my plane up to Alaska in the summer of 2012 and had a blast touring around the state. I was looking at routes today to spend a boating season there. We shall see.

That’s a long way from being either a trawler or a yacht. Looks like an older Dutch or German built coastal cargo ship, one hatch, one hold. Can carry quite a bit of cargo. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it used for drug or gun running or other illicit activity especially if trading certificates are expired.
Eric,
Check out the specs of both the N40 and the Nova Scotia..
Both draw 4' 8/9"
Also the Nova Scotia is a whopping 3'2" wider in beam.
The N40 is listed at 37000, according to the N.Scotia specs its tipping the scales at 50,000.. that sounds REALLY heavy, my Ocean Alexander 40 is 26,000 according to the travel lift in P.T. and thats loaded with a ton of crap and a big dinghy.
