|Burger Boat | 46.02M | "NADAN" -ex. "Sycara IV"- | 2009 |

Outstanding boat! Fantastic review and photography.

At least your fingers won't smash the wrong key on a full sized keyboard, No more excuses for spelling, unless typing from the digital touch pad of the Iphone where the fatty fingers experience problems relaying the end result from the brain! Good job Carl..lol

And, with a little help from an online tutorial, here's an age appropriate image of the gorgeous Sycara.

Congrats to all involved for a great walk through a beautiful vessel.

Right on point Kevin! I had to look twice to see what the vessel was...then realised...oh...

Thank you sir. May I have another?

I found your answer to my question in the Details section of the review. Thanks for checking that out, but I guess it now begs another question. You mentioned a removeable pin. So the domes are raised and lowered manually? Any concerns with heavy weather?

It could just mean that the owners don't give a flying fig that the phone doesn't ring every 5 minutes.

They are on the boat to relax and get away from it all. You don't build a fantail to be on the cutting edge of tech.

If it's really important, somehow, somewhere any accountant will find you. Just don't encourage them with ease of access.

Great job on the review Carl! I liked the seperate "details" section.

The forward sterring post is one of my favorite things about this yacht, I would be up ther all the time "Yo Ho, Yo Ho..."

Then this may be the most refreshing change in yacht design and use that I've seen in a while. Given the seemingly overabundance of HD televisions on large yachts in almost every guest space including (it seems) most outdoor spaces and WiFi APs for guest access throughout the boat, it just seems highly unusual for a build of this size and magnitude these days.

“…the bridge-wide console features an Anshutz Gyro Compass, Simrad AP50001 Autopilot, KVH Tracphone, Ericson W25 Quad-band GSM Cell, ACR GlobalFix EPIRB, Furuno NavNet vx2 Radar/Chartplotter, Furuno DS80 Doppler Log, Furuno LH3000 Hailer, Furuno NX-700 Navtex Receiver, Northstar 6100i GPS, Furuno FA-150 AIS, Furuno Fax 408 and Icom IC-M604 VHF. Three Hatteland TFT monitors display the ship's information, while a Pelco CCTV system supplies visuals through Sycara's back-up camera installed on the ceiling of the aft deck, as well as her main mast, to aid in docking.”

Don’t say that about the bridge. It seems to have a little bit more than just those paper charts seen in the photos, a magnetic compass and a sextant that would reflect those simpler, earlier times.

Oh dear…. envy and lust are both sins – so off I trot to confession once more…

What a beautiful girl!!

Thank you Carl and all involved for such an excellent review. And well done to all at Burger. Pride might be a sin too, but are entitled this time - and duly absolved!

All of the above is pretty much standard fare on a new build today, hardly cutting edge.

Its the idea of cruising on a glorious fantail, with just elegance as your shadow, that appeals.

Clearance

Do anyone know what the clearance is with the mast, stack and rails off? It looks like they spent a good amount of time and money to keep her as low as she is

Well I am not sure RBJacobson, The review did not state as far as I read. Maybe you would have to ask our Administrator.

What is the lowest bridge on the Erie Barge Canal? Was she designed to pass under it?

I believe the clearance on the barge canal is about 20-21 feet.

Very nice yacht, stunning pictures, well detailed review.

I am still poring over it, fourth time now.
