No. Several of those vessels are aimed at 8 knot cruise
Can you show me where it is written that a trawler must be slow?
Efficient hull shapes allow them to go faster than an in-efficient monohull, but a trawler they still be.

If you really want to go by definition how do any of the vessels on this forum fit this description?

Do any of these liveaboard trawlers get used for trawling (fishing)?
