It is a bit surprising to me that Nordhavn has not set up a website
covering what promises to be a fantastic voyage. The recent brouhaha on
comercialism could have been completely avoided and our listmeister could
have been even more informative without breaching TWL protocol. This is a
pioneering effort of the first order in trawler development. Trawlers have
been around a long time in coastal and inland waters but very little in
transoceanic cruising. Not only fuel burn is important, but provisioning,
maintenance underway, communications, watch lists, crewing, et al, are
important. Let's hear it from Nordhavn independent of TWL's rules on a
dedicated website. How about it you lucky ones who are out there on the
cutting edge?
