0:07
currently listed for sale with De Valk Yacht Brokers. If you're passionate about high-performance, Category A, liveaboard offshore boats
0:16
designed to withstand challenging sea states and weather conditions, then this vessel is sure to impress you
0:23
Stay tuned until the end of the video, where I'll reveal some of my top favourite features of this exceptional boat
0:30
I even had the chance to experience this all-weather powerhouse in action
0:35
whilst perched on my favourite spot, LaBao, during a mini sea trial where we put its twin engines to the test
0:42
reaching an impressive 28 knots. If you haven't already, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel
0:48
I've got some fantastic videos coming up. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the view as I take you around this remarkable boat
0:57
Before I even boarded this boat, it was easy to get a sense of her impressive seakeeping abilities
1:03
owing to her low profile. The large and spacious cockpit, with its durable teak deck
1:09
is surrounded by plenty of grab rails, making it safe and easy to use this area when underway in those gnarly conditions
1:21
Boarding the Northline 42 wheelhouse is a breeze, thanks to the spacious swim platform and the robust transom gate located amid ships
1:30
ensuring a safe and comfortable entry to the vessel. The spacious cockpit can also be fitted out with comfortable cockpit cushions
1:38
which are neatly stowed away under the seats. There's also a retractable deck shower located on the transom
1:45
that allows you to have a quick rinse after enjoying the water. Before we venture inside, let's explore the upper deck
1:52
On both the port and starboard sides of the cockpit, you'll find two steps leading up to the side decks
1:58
providing easy access for moving around the vessel. The side decks are wide enough to make moving around the boat effortless
2:05
High stainless steel guard rails and an abundance of grab rails provide safety and security as you move about on the upper deck
2:13
The railing also features side opening gates on both the port and starboard side
2:18
making it convenient for boarding or disembarking the vessel from different locations
2:22
such as a dock or a tender. This boat comes with a robust stainless steel anchor and a matching anchor chain
2:30
ensuring secure anchoring. An efficient electrical low-franz windlass is fitted on the vessel
2:36
for convenient anchor deployment and retrieval. Additionally, a deck wash system is in place
2:42
which makes it easy to clean the deck and maintain the condition of the anchor gear
2:47
I think this view really does give you a sense of her seakeeping ability
2:52
Note also the skylights on the raised foredeck, which allow natural light to fill the living spaces
3:00
As we head back along the port side, note the spotlight on the coach roof and some more skylights
3:05
You will also see the sliding window next to the helm position
3:09
The sleek radar mask can also be lowered to reduce the vessel's air draft
3:13
which is 3.2 metres. I love this radar reflector. If you need one, make sure you check out my Amazon store
3:19
I'll leave a link in the video description. Let's carry on heading aft via the port side deck
3:24
as we come back into the spacious cockpit. Note also the steps on the starboard side that we use to come onto the starboard side deck
3:32
These can also be found on the port side. As you step into this saloon through these two doors
3:37
they can be securely held in the open position when desired. This seamlessly extends the saloon to the outdoor cockpit
3:45
creating an expansive space for socialising and enjoying the outdoors, whenever the weather permits
3:51
The saloon boasts a comfortable and inviting living space with ample headroom of approximately 2 metres
3:58
and a leather-cushioned seating area. The interior is finished in beautiful oak
4:03
while the floor features teak with ash trim. The saloon also has a dedicated chart table and a dinette area for working or dining
4:12
providing versatility for various activities. Large windows ensure plenty of natural light and stunning views of your surroundings
4:21
With just the flick of a switch, this section of the seating area transforms into a navigator's chair
4:27
providing company and assistance to the helmsperson during long passages. So, while cruising through the waves at nearly 30 knots
4:36
you can easily perform additional chart work or simply enjoy each other's company in comfort and style
4:43
The helm station on this Northline 42 is fully equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and communication equipment
4:50
It features a comprehensive suite of Raymarine instruments, including a Quantum II Doppler radar
4:57
displayed on two 15.6-inch Axiom screens, a windset and depth sounder. The boat is also equipped with two Raymarine VHF radios
5:07
For added convenience, the helm boasts a Raymarine Autopilot system with a ruddle angle indicator on the display
5:14
ensuring smooth and precise navigation, even during challenging conditions. Talking of smooth navigation
5:21
let's see what the twin Cummins 472 horsepower engines are made of
5:26
before we check out the accommodation areas and engine bay. During our trip, the wind conditions were light
5:32
and owing to the sheltered inland waterways where we were, there were no waves, but I did get a chance to experience
5:38
what it felt like to go from just a few knots to 28 knots
5:42
in a matter of seconds. As my subscribers probably already know, for these speed tests I always love to nestle myself into the bow
5:50
before holding on for dear life. The twin Cummins engines are connected to stainless steel propeller shafts
5:56
that drive fixed bronze five-blade propellers, ensuring a smooth and reliable performance
6:03
The deep V-hull of this vessel is made of GRP, a strong and lightweight material known for its durability and low maintenance
6:11
Keep in mind that this boat is built to CE Category A standards
6:16
making it perfect for offshore voyages, as it can endure wind conditions of up to force 8
6:22
and wave heights of up to 4 metres, which is 13 feet
6:33
If this were my boat, I'd be eager to tackle some big waves
6:37
but if this were your boat, what kind of conditions would you feel comfortable venturing out in
6:42
Share your thoughts in the comments below and remember, I always reply to comments accompanied by a super thanks

Transcribed by ESO, translated by — Galley and Accommodation
7:45
Access to the galley and accommodation area is through this opening. As we make our way into the galley and adjacent dining area
7:53
you'll notice the well-equipped space for meal preparation and dining. The galley features a Corian countertop, a stainless steel sink
8:03
a Siemens induction cooker and a combination microwave oven from Panasonic. The isotherm fridge and fridge drawer provide ample cold storage for your provisions
8:14
The owner's cabin is situated forward, featuring a spacious bed that measures 2.1 metres in length
8:20
The raised foredeck design provides ample headroom. There's also an abundance of storage options, including under-bed compartments
8:30
that are easily accessible thanks to the assistance of two gas struts
8:35
The owner's bathroom is located aft and features a shower with electric planus toilet system
8:41
The guest cabin has its own head but shares the owner's shower
8:45
Opposite the owner's bathroom is the entrance to the guest cabin, which has a double and a single berth
8:55
Remember to stay tuned as at the end of the video, when I show you some of my favourite features
9:00
I'm going to reveal what is hidden behind these doors. The guest cabin has its own en-suite head
9:08
This convenient and well-appointed space can be accessed directly from the guest cabin
9:13
ensuring privacy and comfort for guests. The thoughtful design creates a welcoming and functional area
9:20
that I feel enhances the overall experience for those staying on board
9:25
Before I show you some of my favourite parts of this boat, let's head down to the engine bay and talk about some of the performance characteristics of the vessel
9:35
The engines can be accessed with ease through a strut-assisted hatch located on the cockpit floor
9:42
With this convenient design, you can effortlessly perform routine checks and maintenance tasks
9:47
ensuring your engines remain in top condition. The vessel is powered by a pair of Cummins QSB 6.7 engines
9:55
each boasting an impressive 472 horsepower, providing smooth and reliable performance. The engines are cooled by a fresh water heat exchanger system
10:06
ensuring their longevity and efficiency. The boat is also fitted with bow and stern thrusters
10:13
A reliable Onan 9 KVA generator with wet exhausts on board, providing ample power for all your electrical needs when away from shore power
10:23
The generator has just over 40 hours of use, showing that it's still relatively new and extremely well-maintained
10:31
The boat is also equipped with a Victron Quattro Combi Charger Inverter to manage power distribution
10:39
along with Victron battery chargers to keep the start and service batteries in optimal condition
10:45
The vessel also features Bennett's trim tabs, which help to optimise the boat's performance and ride comfort at various speeds and sea conditions
10:55
With this level of machinery and equipment, you can really be confident in the Northline 42's ability to handle long passages
11:03
and provide a comfortable cruising experience. But what about her fuel capacity and range
11:10
You might have already noticed that when travelling at just over 5 knots
11:14
then the range shoots up to nearly 1,100 nautical miles. Thanks to her two fuel tanks, she can carry 1,050 litres of fuel
11:24
which is around 277 US gallons. The owners told me that her sweet spot when it comes to fast cruising is around 17 knots
11:34
where she burns around 60 litres of fuel per hour. So at 17 knots, you can expect a range of approximately 300 nautical miles
11:44
Reduce the speed to 8 knots and she burns about 10 litres of fuel per hour
11:49
giving her a range of approximately 840 nautical miles. The Northline 42 is a generous freshwater tank with a capacity of 680 litres
12:00
The owners told me that the most amount of time they have spent on board at any one time was four weeks
12:06
The boat also has blackwater capacity of around 480 litres. At the time of making and uploading this video in May 2023
12:27
the boat is listed for sale with De Valk yacht brokers for €895,000, VAT paid
12:34
If you want to contact the broker directly, then I will leave his email address in the video description
12:40
So a few days before heading over to Holland, I asked my 38,000 subscribers
12:45
whether they think I should add a section to the end of my videos
12:49
where I talk about some of my favourite features on board the boats which I feature
12:54
And 92% of my subscribers who responded said, yes, do it. So here is the first instalment of what will be a new feature in my videos
13:04
Let me know what you think in the comments. Welcome aboard this Northline
13:09
Let's step on board so I can show you some of my favourite areas
13:15
Of course, got a large swim platform here, which is great for access
13:19
And look at the size of that door on the transom. I really like the size of the cockpit in here as well
13:27
Great for entertaining. You could quite easily fit eight people in here, I would say, as a guest
13:36
Very easy and quick access to the engine room through this hatch here, which is really easy to lift up
13:43
Coming into the pilot's house. Again, you've got great visibility on here
13:49
I always prefer the helm position on the starboard, but that's just a personal preference
13:54
I love the big traditional ship's wheel and the twin Raymarine multifunction displays
14:02
I don't think you can get any better than that. I love the big traditional ship's wheel and the twin Raymarine multifunction displays
14:12
I don't think you can ever have too much information when you're underway, especially if you are cruising as a couple
14:20
And also, I like the fact that you get skylight above the helm position as well
14:25
Very comfortable chair, very sturdy comfortable chair with a footplate just for additional comfort as well
14:33
So yeah, you probably guessed it already. I'm always going to say the helm station is one of my favourite places on board, but I think each helm station is so unique that they're my favourite for different reasons
14:45
But yeah, the visibility in here is fantastic. And you do get another skylight over on the starboard side as well
14:53
Also, I just want to take you down below because something that's very unique, I think, about the layout on here is that when you come into this cabin
15:05
obviously you've got a single berth over on the starboard side and you've got a double over on the port
15:12
But over here behind this cabinetry, you can actually access some of the boat's systems, which is a really good idea because if you need to get access to here
15:25
you don't always necessarily want to be in a scorching hot engine compartment
15:31
So, yeah, you can get access to these systems through this hatch, which I think is a really nice idea
15:40
But what do you think? Let me know in the comments below. I'd like to say a massive thank you to DeVault Yacht Brokers for allowing me access to this boat and also to the owners for allowing me on board for a few hours
15:52
