Our boat: Yamarin Cross 60 Cabin
When it comes to boat training, it is very important that the training takes place on a comfortable, modern boat that is equipped for training. We have found the ideal boat for this in the Yamarin Cross 60 Cabin. This heated boat with large windows and passageways is equipped with the most powerful engine, modern steering systems, and gadgets that will improve your training and make your exam easier.
Here you will find everything you need to know about the boat, where everything is located, and what extras we have installed. We do not sell a theory book, but provide you with everything you need here.
The boat data
Yamarin is a Finnish shipyard that builds recreational boats ranging from 4.8 to 7.4 meters in length with a strong aluminum bow in its Cross line and sells them all over the world.
Our boat is 6.03 m long and equipped with a cabin (hence 60 Cabin). With a width of 2.33 m, we can fit into almost any box for practice and the boat can be trailered without a special permit.
Our boat is equipped with a Yamaha 150 XCA Drive by Wire. This is a sporty 150 hp engine that is easy and safe to operate thanks to its electric control system. (Normally, engines under 150 hp have a cable control system).
Large windows provide ideal all-round visibility and the high doors give us plenty of space to easily operate the boat from bow to stern. They also allow us to ventilate the boat on warm summer days.
Something not every boat has
Two large screens allow us to monitor the boat. (1) The chart plotter shows where we are and includes many features such as GPS speed display, water temperature, fuel level, and even a fish finder. (2) The smaller engine control screen shows the RPM, gear selection, and trim height of the engine.
(3) Thanks to the electronic control, which is essentially a joystick acting as a throttle, the engine can be controlled very precisely and adjusted in 50 rpm increments. This allows us to travel at exactly 10 km/h (between 1450-1500 rpm) in coastal areas.
(4) A control wheel is used to control the trim tabs. These are flaps at the rear of the boat that can be used to raise the boat's position in the water when planing. This is useful for ensuring ideal space monitoring and collision prevention with an upright planing boat.
(5) Do you learn better with music? If Spotify has it, we have it on the boat too.
