Ok, well all I could get from that link was "web page not available", but it wouldn't have mattered, as it says 'American English', and Americans did not invent English, (strangely enough, but true), so it doesn't count.

What`s hard about spelling yatch?That's because 'sail boat', is American slang, for 'yacht', but yacht is harder to spell I guess...
So... just to stir the pot, what about the old Hatteras LRCs? Not a trawler... just a slow heavy yacht? The bottoms are somewhere between semi displacement and planing.
I'm new to the forum but i'll go there...
Motor yacht, trawler, motor yacht, trawler...
I'm going with motor yacht.

Well, I think that's a grand idea and would cast multiple votes if given the chance.SD - Great to see you again! I make a motion that your boat is the only one on TF that should be called "Trawler Emeritus"... wadda ya think??!!
