I'm a non-sailor and non-boat owner with dreams of a trawler lifestyle in PNW & Alaskan waters.
I once crossed the Atlantic on a passenger liner and have been on a few small craft and naval vessels, but the biggest thing I've captained is a toy boat in my tub. I am a rusty open water diver and enjoy the sea. Once lived vicinity Seattle.
Introduced to trawlers by a friend who trained on helming Nordhavns...and had a plan to buy one. His itch caught, and I enjoy browsing trawler forums, manufacturer web sites, and owner blogs.
In other words, I'm a complete boating virgin. But for some reason, the trawler lifestyle appeals to me. I see myself in my dreams living aboard a 52-60 foot Nordhavn.
Nothing to contribute. I realized that I have occasional questions that mere lurking and search functions don't answer.
It's a nice and informative forum. Glad to be here.
