Sailors turned to Trawlers

[LLNT37]

Hi All,
We have enjoyed reading the posts on Trawler Forum and hope to learn more as we get up to speed on our 2005 Nordic Tug 37. We love the boat, and she is presenting opportunity for many winter projects as we prep for extensive cruising in 2025. We have been sailors for the past several decades with simpler systems and a secondary source of power. Adapting to the change, we value the expertise of the members here and their experiences.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy your new boat.

Many of us here have done the same transition. Welcome aboard.

Make sure your fuel tanks are clean - I found out otherwise on the delivery cruise. Fuel polishing followed by new primary and secondary fuel filters will help you sleep well. (Also former sailor.)

BTW, NT 37 is a great boat per two friends who have them - active long distance captains/admirals.

Welcome to the trawler world, much like many of us former sailors. Where will you be cruising?

Welcome to the trawler world. You are making the transition like many others before you, and with a very durable boat. Where will your cruisng grounds be?

Any trawlers transitioned to sailboats?

Welcome aboard. Have you owned the boat long enough to have a go at changing all the engine hoses, vee-belts, and fluids? As it is now your sole means of propulsion, regular oil sampling is a good way to assure yourself all is well with its innards.
