The Norwegian built North Sea Malahide trawler EXPLORER is for sale. She has appeared on the cover of both Passagemaker Magazine as well as Ocean Navigator (May 1994) I have owned Explorer for 12 years the last 11 of which she has been chartering in Southeast Alaska. I have plans to move to a larger boat and have put Explorer up for sale. No expense has been spared in her maintanance or equpiment inventory. She is presently moored in Bellingham, Washington and sits in full repair and excellent finish. Explorer ready to depart today for any destination your heart desires and only needs to be loaded with groceries and have her tanks topped off. Explorer cruises at 7.8 knots while burning 4.5 gallons per hour giving her a range of 3500 nautical miles with another 300 miles in reserve. She is capable of 9 knots but fuel economy obviously declines dramatically. To learn more about explorer you can visit the yacht description page on our website where you will find photos, detailed equpment list, and a layout drawing: http://www.yachtexplorer.com/boat.html Explorer is a unique yacht in terrific condition so bottom feeders need not apply.
