Laminating schedule Island Gipsy 36 Does anyone posses the laminating schedule of the Island Gipsy 36 build in 1995? I am busy with an (severe) osmose treatment on a hull and not sure about the original lay-up.

Designed by Tad Roberts, the passagemakerlite is a very fuel efficient trawler for those who really want to go long distance. Built out of epoxy (light, no osmosis, strong). Vessel is partly finished as engine still needs to be installed, boat can be finished within 6 months or can be sold "as...

Of course everything is relative: what you consider fuel efficient at 3gph is a big drinker compared to Idlewild at 1.3 gph which is what I consider as fuel efficient but you are right it is not necessarly the weight but rather the hull shape which makes a boat more or less fuel efficient...

I have worked a couple of years for a boating magazine and unfortunately I must conclude that magazines are only there for the advertisers.

Good question I also always wondered what describes a "trawler" I personally do not think my boat qualifies as a trawler. Trawler are (again in my opinion) derived from trawler fishing vessels who need a lot of payload to carry tons of fish. Later when companies such as Nordhavn decided to...

Webasto and Eberspracher are great if you want to "extend" your season. They are very sensitive and require maintenance so if you need them running 24 h for several months not the right solution. A system such as Kabola with watercoil or Dickinson have no moving parts except a small 12v...

Hallo I am new to this forum. I am (slowly) building a Passagemakerlite designed by Tad Roberts. Not sure if it falls under "trawlers" but that is for you to judge. I keep my website The home of Passagemaker updated with the latest developments. I hope you guys like it.
