1965 Romsdal Fjord

This 37-foot steel-hulled trawler was built by Romsdal in Norway in 1965, a classic Nordic design engineered for offshore cruising and seaworthiness. The boat combines a steel hull with an aluminum cabin for durability across varying sea conditions. Power comes from a 73-horsepower Volvo MD47B diesel engine paired with an adjustable 32-inch propeller, delivering a cruising speed of 6 knots and a maximum speed of 8 knots. The fuel-efficient setup includes a 1,000-gallon steel fuel tank and 500-gallon steel water tank, supporting extended passages with a range of approximately 2,400 nautical miles.

The boat is equipped with comprehensive systems for self-sufficient cruising. Electrical power is managed by a 5-kilowatt Northern Lights generator with 390 hours of service, a 12-volt system fed by two 30-amp shore power connections, and a Victron inverter. A 12-gallon hot water tank operates on 110-volt power. Navigation and vessel control include an autopilot and Nexus star sea data system mounted at the helm.
