THIS Is Hull 1 Long Range Cruiser 65! (LRC 65) 6,000 NM Range!

Here is 'the link' that I keep talking about linktr.ee/john_johnson

Dutch boat. Build out of (mostly) flat sheets of Alu. Cheap way of building, interior is of what? Plastic, MDF, you say it. Naked metalwork, straight to the point. Stripped of any boatcharm. There are a number of very good casco builders in Friesland who can make a splendid and straight hull so any paint can be omitted, depending on the alloy used. Also the interior consists of mainly flat sheets, no complex corners, just straight on. Propulsion and arrangement machineroom not shown. I think this boat is entirely CAD/CAM programed and might have costed around 200.000 euro in total to build. That's my guess. The interior has a charisma and appearance of a fridge, This boat is a perfect example of quality engineering at lowest possible cost. Just a few and random remarks on my side.

Special,...special Girl, this LRC 65!!! Not only does she have an exceptional range, but also self-righting capabilities and a clean efficient interior layout. Cannot wait for you to take us into the Engine Room (I have a feeling that it will not disappoint). Cheers - Dave

Lots to like with this yacht. Decor is very cold to my taste, but that’s the kind of thing that can be customized.

thanks for making this video. been looking forward to it for ages.

What a clever position for the dishwasher!

Fantastic boat. Best wishes to wonderful man, Rob Westermann.

That´s a pretty cool boat!!

G'day to you! Very Nice, well kept nice and tidy,like to see more Cams put in so can see more of the Track,thanks for this! from Perth Western Aust.

No aux engine is odd to me. Also sure would not want to be in a storm taking every wave into my pilot house windows. The refrigeration/freezer/pantry appear to be afterthoughts. Not having a helm chair encourages not paying attention. Electronics also looked like afterthoughts. Hopefully there is a workbench area with spares and supplies. Things break.

Great little ship... Southbound to the 45th parallel... No worries at all....

Looking forward to the follow-up on this LRC.

I like it! But they'd have to put two engines in for me.

LRC, way to go.

The picture in the fo'c'sle cabin is known as Te Ika A Maui, which translates as Maui's Fish. Of course all English speaking people will know this as the North Island, the second largest island of New Zealand.

need some engine room shots !!! also hope they trim those tie wraps sometime soon :) looks like a very capable and low maintenance boat

Great gentlemen. Let us have a seatrial video.

It's like a bank vault!

I would have continued the roof line further back to allow more solar. I would add more solar to the foredeck also. If you can get upwards of 17kw of solar you can cruise at 5 knots without burning any fuel.

Hope they have a PTO from the genset as a backup for the main engine or I certainly wouldn't want to go exploring on a single iveco engine.
