I correspond regularly with a former GL40 owner in the UK who told me this about the stock anchor... "At anchor she is quite comfortable, the anchor supplied holds well. We have anchored over night a few times in local estuaries adjacent to large commercial ports without too much problem."

Boom23, Solaris, and ScottC discuss stock vs. replacement anchor in posts 9, 10, & 11 of this very thread, above.

Hadn't dropped by in a while and just wanted to say how happy I am to see GL owners talking about the particulars, including known problems, variations by year, performance, etc. -- exactly the kind if info I'm eager to read. Thanks, folks, and please keep posting about your experiences.

I agree about the dingy; in particular, the 'tailgate' complicates things. If you're not living aboard and can spare the storage, the cockpit lazarettes will hold a deflated foldable RIB. And of course Greenline makes a lift/davit system if you don't mind the dinghy hanging off the back. Maybe...

Just a heads-up for those interested in the 40... There's a new walk-around vid from Boat Tube up on YT; search there for "2020 Greenline 40 Hybrid Boat - Walkaround Tour - 2020 Boot Dusseldorf". The usual caveat for these vids: The music they overlaid may not be to everyone's taste--there's no...

Thanks for the added info, and the clear explanations. Much appreciated!

This is great to hear about. I've certainly looked at the 39, and cost/maintenance-wise agree it's a better deal, when all you're 'losing' compared to the 40 is some beam, the port side protected walkway, and some headroom in the guest stateroom. I share your concerns about tank sizes; if after...

Scott's post from 2020.11.02 is the kind of info I'm here for -- so a strong second thanks for that. As for the CE ratings -- my understanding is that the ratings are to indicate design integrity--meaning, that the boats' structure will withstand the forces placed upon it in such seas. It is...

That's a really innovative system, and your numbers (5-16% improvement in fuel consumption) are telling. Was surprised to hear it would add stability, too, without going the SeaKeeper route. Thanks for this!

Welcome, Bernard! When you and I were corresponding via e-mail, you were kind enough to share all sorts of detailed information about your ownership experience, all of which I found useful & helpful to my thought process. For folks who are not familiar with the Greenline 40 / Hybrid version...

Thanks, SWFLA. I'm here to lean. So at this stage, everything helps. And I appreciate it.

That sounds right. I'm not just looking at production hybrid boats; when I look at others, not so equipped I consider how I would modify to add enough generation and storage capacity to provide the same experience, short of silent running. Thanks!

[...] I have to enthusiastically second Scott's note about silence, and about operating off-grid without a generator. Looked at from dollars alone, with current technologies, your ROI on fuel savings will never recoup the investment. The value is in the experience of being in and experiencing...

Which is what landed me here. Hi everyone! Scott, though I am not an owner--yet--I've e-mailed a couple of Greenline 40 owners & former owners with whom I've corresponded over the last year or so, and suggested they join/contribute to the relevant threads here. Fingers crossed for such folks to...

I am saving my pennies. Have been researching them (among other options) since I starting giving serious thought to long-term boat ownership a couple of years ago. My sense is they are costly because they are unique--no one else is really competing in their segment yet--like Tesla cars. Anyway...

Thanks, Greg, Rich, and Commodore Dave. Happy to be here. And to answer Rich's question: For motive power, yes, diesel is acceptable. My primary goal is to be silent at anchor and when mooring. I consider other factors as well--from production methods to recyclability of materials--but...

[Joins trawlerforum.com, finds Greenline 40 thread, plucks self down, looks around expectantly] Hello, ScottC and crew. I'm a fan of low-impact boating and am considering, among other alternatives, the Greenline 40. I've researched, boarded, sea-trialed, and discussed this boat over the last...

Hi folks, I'm Rick. I've been boating since before I was born, though usually summers only on the freshest waters of Georgian Bay. But that experience planted the seed that is beginning to grow; so I'm here to gather (and share) information from the perspective of someone considering looping...
