We're on the Manxman atm, and not sure what has happened, but the boat is really vibrating all the time. Sounds and feels like the main propshaft bearings have collapsed!!!!

Seems to be proceeding at its usual speed…

That's a very prescriptive diagnosis .

Its does vibrate a lot in the first 1/2 hour out of Heysham and then goes to normal. Not sure why it happens but fairly sure it's not because of what you have diagnosed because they would have collapsed a few months ago.

Landed now, and very bad vibration for approx 2h, then slowly calmed down. Never noticed it that bad in the previous crossings, except when reversing.

Was it behind schedule? I have noticed vibration when it's flat out. That's normal on a boat.
