Anyone can stand their ground....long life experiences don't make you right (as per some TF members who think a lifetime of experience, actual work in that field and an armful of certifications still don't make your opinions worth anything...)....

You can get persnickety about correctness of terms....but whether fishermen, old British guys, brokers, Grand Bank owners,etc...etc....don't want to call a Grand Banks a trawler...that's just fine....

But in the long run most boaters will call a Grand Banks a trawler....and like a shoe or skeg on a boat...who gives a crap in the big scheme of things.......it's not like arguing the port or starboard side of a boat which IS important...
