This boat was designed for a Canadian family based on the classic North Sea trawler model. The vessel exudes this workboat heritage in heavy timber construction. The design features a trunk cabin forward, pilothouse amidships, and an aft trunk cabin.

The boat is carvel planked with Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir and fastened to 1 3/4" x 2 3/8" White Oak frames on 12" centers. The deck is Western Red Cedar on Alaska Yellow Cedar beams. The cabin house is fir and fir plywood. Fasteners are galvanized boat nails.

Fir bilge keels (roll chocks) were installed in 2001 to reduce vessel roll.

The boat carries 1400 pounds of internal lead ballast.

Broker's Comments

VIRTUAL TOUR - VIDEO - 80 TO 100 PHOTOS - FULL SPECS CAN BE VIEWED OF THIS VESSEL!
This is one remarkable trawler. Stoutly built of the best materials available. Currently upgraded by shipwrights in Port Townsend. The fit and finish are of the highest standards. This is one vessel that should be entered in the local wooden boat shows and it certainly will be a "winner." This BC Trawler shows as "new" in every regard. From the engine room to the pilot house this boat can be called a work of art. Cruse all year round in comfort and style in this "salty" BC Trawler.
