Broker's Comments
This unique George Buehler-designed Diesel Duck is a capable, compact expedition trawler. Custom-built in steel in Quebec with completion and final outfitting overseen by its knowledgeable owners she is well-configured and equipped for extended cruising in remote locations. Her range at 7.5 knots is over 1300 nm -- farther if operated at slower speed or if sail assist is employed. Imported into New Zealand and lying near Auckland she has previously been imported into the U.S. and has maintained U.S. documentation. And she has also been imported into Canada -- so is well-suited to be moved to other locales.
Only 1100 hours on its Cummins six-cylinder engine. Equipment and features include: Mase 7.1 kw generator, Open Ocean watermaker, solar arrays and wind generator, two tenders including a custom welded aluminum double-hulled workboat, bow and stern thrusters, and a comprehensive nav electronics suite. Liveability and usability features include a large master stateroom with pedestal queen berth, a wheelhouse that could have been transplanted from a much larger ship, a covered aft deck configured for al fresco dining and with its own helm station, a well-configured galley and saloon, a useful guest stateroom / office, and even a compact workshop in the engineroom.
Imagine the possibilities! Purchase this boat and explore New Zealand, Australia, and/or the tropical Pacific then ship her to the U.S. or Canada for continued adventuring. This sturdy, efficient and capable boat is built for expeditions far and wide!
