How to Handle Following Seas
Perhaps the most difficult sea condition to handle offshore for a powerboat is a following sea. Both stuffing the bow and being pooped are the most obvious concerns, but even more likely is rolling, which can be even more problematical. We investigate why boats roll in following seas and what can be done to avoid it.

2009 Nordhavn 56 Motorsailer Mark II - Sold by YFG to Present Owner! | |
|
A stunning vessel that personifies luxurious quality and comfort. Pacific Asian Enterprises shifted from building Mason-designed sailing boats to focusing on trawlers. The Nordhavn 56 Motorsailer revisits sail, enhancing range and versatility in a trawler-like vessel. Even a modest sail area, combined with a Hundested controllable-pitch propeller, significantly boosts fuel efficiency and steadies the boat’s motion in a seaway. Blending both worlds, the 56 Motorsailer features a sailing cockpit with a helm station and controls for power winches and roller-furling sails, positioned ahead of a trawler-style saloon and wheelhouse, and a trawler-style aft deck. | |
