'World girdling Trawler Yacht' With it's displacement hull form this design is an ideal long distance cruiser. This is your opportunity to have your own passagemaking 'Voyager' designed and built at an affordable price. Now you can put those pieces together into one boat that you REALLY like ! Consider customizing one of our new designs. Bring us YOUR ideas. We can offer Steel or Aluminum Plans and Cutting files, CUT-TO-SIZE KITS or Part-Built or Complete Boats.
 

These trawlers are designed in accordance with Lloyds  for category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which is much better than the EU and other Classification Societies and the  CE-A require. Complete stability calculations to USCG offshore requirements are included in the design package. All calculations are also cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure that the design meets world-wide standards and specifications.

In the case of KITS, all plate parts belonging to the hull, deck and superstructure that are accurately cut to size are included. The parts are marked with the appropriate part number and engraved matching marking lines to assist in the assembly and location of the part in its position. Cutting method is Plasma / Oxygen, ensuring highest accuracy and smooth edges.
 
Plate parts are cut from Lloyds approved A Grade Shipbuilding quality STEEL that has been coated with factory applied Sigma weld MC welding primer.  We use and recommend steel plate that has the official designation ISO standard 10474 or EN 10204 with 3.1.B certificate.
