... any questions for Judy Waldman on the Bering 55' trawler review? Post 'em!

What's their limit on OAL?

Andrew B. · 12-14-2010, 02:43 PM

Lowest bridge clearance possible ?
19 feet or less would be great.
Hoping a hinged arch would do the trick.

How about small twin cats or cummins ?

Thanks for the great review Judy. I have been looking forward to reading what you thought of this great looking Trawler.

And thanks to you Carl for starting this thread.

Thanks for your compliments on the Bering and the Review - it's appreciated on both

Bering Yachts offers models up to 80'. They are in current contract discussions on an eighty footer and have presented detailed specs, CAD drawings, deck plans, and presentation pictures. A 3D model is currently under construction.

The air draught is 17' on the Bering 55 with the hinged mast lowered. The standard hinged mast requires a crane for lowering and raising; however, a push button hydraulic system is offered for frequent bridge duckings.

For those preferring twin engines, the 220hp Cummins is standard. John Deere 178hp for twins are also offered.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks again!

Judy

Greetings,
I probably missed it but what is her range? Trans Pacific?

JWY · 12-15-2010, 06:05 PM

3,000nm @ 8 knots consuming 5 gal/hr

5,000nm @ 7 knots consuming 3 gal/hr

8,000nm @ 6 knots consuming 1.6 gal/hr

All with 10% reserve plus the genset.

So yes the range, for the deranged, is transPacific

Do you have range numbers for the twins ? Cummins and JD if you have them.

Thanks for your replies

JWY · 12-16-2010, 07:09 AM

The Cummins QSB-5.9 heavy duty 225hp twins have the same estimated range and consumption when using one engine at a time which is the recommended mode under normal conditions. Using both engines simultaneously increases consumption by about 20-30%.

Greetings,
Are you, Judy Waldman, stating I am deranged and if so, what leads you to that conclusion?
Thank You.

JWY · 12-16-2010, 04:18 PM

The

was supposed to indicate I was throwing a little humor into the numerical mix.

Greetings,
OK, Judy missed the emoticon as well. Don't ever get old.

No question specifically, but did want to give accolades to YF for the review, and especially to Judy / The Bering team for a fine looking product released to market.

I wish you success in the new year of future yacht building. The Bering 55 is a fresh and very sharp look boat. I hope to come across one in person soon enough to get a closer view and hands on tour.

Once again, great job Judy and of course YF's for the review.
