Catamaran steel trawler.....unusual concept!

Nice, lots of deck space for dancing and lying around.

Yeah, but does your trawler have a hydraulic crane; beat that if you can! :lol:

 

[BryanF]

Well the main boom on my mast is raised and lowered with a hydraulic winch and the hoist line by another hydraulic winch. I don't know if that qualifies as a crane or not ??
Sort of hope not as it probably means I need some kind of qualification to run it.

The lower helm could be lived with but I wonder how the furniture would fare in a seaway?
Also, as passage makers go seems light on fuel tankage to me. But the big deal breaker in my world is the galley down. She hates them.

Hi Bryan - I really like look of your boat on avatar. Have pictures? Sorry if I missed them on some other post. - Cheers! Art

Most s/d hulls need about 50hp/ton, I think cats need about 30hp to hit 15kts.

I'm going to investigate further, I've never considered a steel cat; it would be very cheap to fabricate with steel at a 20 year low.

We have a steel work cat out here, the Revolution 1. 44' x 23' with twin 330 HP John Deere's, its supposed to cruise at 10 knots. Cost $1m Canadian. Makes little sense to me, but it does have lots of deck space.

This 15mtr steel cat trawler manages 12kts with just twin 240 HP: listed as steel....

Sounds a bit optimistic though ......!

Wait until it's afloat before you buy the performance figures. The Revolution was designed by Wartsila in Norway, and sold with a 14 knot service speed. Now the owner's are wondering how to fit bigger engines......

...downhill with a following wind, over a period of at least 30 seconds. Lol.

Here's a serious fishing trawler steel cat:

West - Do you know fuel use stats at 40 knot cruise speed? I didn't notice that in the link

Don't know, their site only says that it "meets or exceeds" prop type.

Nice low maintenance yachts though.

Wow, how about this 9 MTR steel cat with twin 60hp/6.5 tons 12-14kts.....

Pretty looking shape, but it uses 3mm steel plate: you'd have to keep up with the paint maintenence or face rust through disaster!

They only let that number out under duress.....

40 knots is really fast, that's a lot of boat traveling really fast, it's got to take some power. With just over 1000 HP installed, 40 knots will burn something between 45 and 50 usg per hour. For Canadians or Britts, that's 170-190 liters per hour.

Thanks, Tad That's around 3/4 nmpg; and, at 45 gals per hr... nearing 1 nmpg. My Tolly and other similar planing hull boats only get about 1 nmpg at 16 to 17 knots. I'd say not too bad at all for that much weight doing 40 knots on the water.

He needed a sailboat to match his motor boat that made this thread earlier. Fortunately this one will make it under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Presumably while submerged. Which is good because few would want to see it.

Wow
Anybody notice that giant yellow Willard-like boat? Eilidh Bhan .... quick ID = yellow hull.
Looks like she's planked w wood but is it the steel building method talked about earlier?
She's like my Willy .. Narrow easy entry w full aft cheeks.
Very nice double ender w an N46 like stem and deeper forefoot.
Engine rebuilt recently .. With new crankshaft .. 90hp. That's about as total as a rebuild can get.
I see she's wood. "larch on oak" Built in 1998.

That's a very pretty hull; it's hard to beat the elegance of wooden work boats.

These are the guys who design these cats from Scotland.

Bottom of page: http://www.marinedesign.ie/designs/work-boats/

I've e- mailed them for the specs sheet......

I think I've solved the argument: that is definitely a trawler!

 

[Rustybarge]

Here's some performance specs for a 11 ton 10 meter with twin 180 HP diesels....

....Top speed 15kts !!!!!

B31 MV COASTAL CAT - Mooney Boats Ireland

Although this is a alloy version, but with heavy deck gear, it only needs 30hp/ton to achieve 15 kts.

The boden design 9mtr steel version only weights 6.5 tons.....hmmmm!

In a heart beat this would be in the harbor here in Ketchikan as fast as the check would clear!!! Truely a man's boat that a woman would love. The photos alone cause increased heart beating!!

1969 Ed Monk, Sr. Nelson & Hansen Pilothouse Power Boat For Sale

Don't know exactly how I ended up back on this page of the subject thread, BUT sure am happy I did. That Monk design "Lazy Gal" is just an absolute beauty. WOW

Better grab a few of those photo before the vessel gets sold and that listing ends.

 

[Nomad Willy]

Brian,
Here's two more.
Been aboard Al ... bout pee'd ma pants in lust.

I was talked out of having an orange pilothouse roof by fellow Trawler Forum participants because bright yellow is much more visible.

wow that is a pretty boat.. enough to make one ponder the thought of owning a wood yacht.... for about 5 seconds!

HOLLYWOOD,
AFTER 10 or 15 minutes aboard this boat plastic boats won't even exist for at least 10 minutes. And they may look substandard for a long time.
