Re: Sundeck trawler's stability, sea-worthiness, sea-kindliness

What FF is talking about has a lot of truth, but you are just talking about island-hopping. Most sundeck trawlers should be fine for work like that if you are careful and be ready to duck into safe waters when the weather goes poopy. You're not talking about Bermuda or Hawaii, Your just want to bop around the Caribbean. Just talk to people that have done it, plan carefully, and expect the unexpected.

This is only what I've been TOLD by others that have done it in similar vessels. I'm still new, so my advice is only second-hand. But we'll be heading down there in a few years.

Good luck!
