Trawler at sea

This is a trawler just like the one we have (www.expeditionyacht.org). You see 4+ meter waves don't really bother it too much.

Well, this vessel was bought before Damen took over the Maaskant Shipyard, which is/was specialized in building fishing trawlers, many from the design of Herman Jansen in Monnickendam

as far as I know this is a Duch kotter and not a trawler

[ilisa]

Of course it's a Dutch 'kotter'.  In English they call that a fishing trawler.

ask not what your kitchen can do for you, ask if your country is too hot, then get out.

Soon it will be time to put sails on boats again.

@zande51 That is a Beam Trawler. They shoot 2 beams, one either side, looking at the video, hes either got his gear down, or he is steaming with the outriggers out to assist stability, the absense of the daytime fishing signal of 2 triangles, apexes together would suggest the latter. --Nick

Pity the video doesn't last longer, would like to see her move in heavy seas. How long/wide is this vessel?

[expeditionyacht]

What does the job is a 10 or 12" ft. prop turning at 80-100 rpm. Lots of momentum.

damn that thing must have some serious power to bury the bow like that and barely slow down!
