She's is a one-off prototype or actually a "plug" for fibreglass production. The hull was made as a plug, but then they didn't start the production and some of the yard's carpenters finished her as a yacht. She's built completely in teak planking. Mitja.
I usually don't take too many pictures of our boat - more of the surroundings.
1985 FHB (sp) Fua Hwa Boats
38' plus a few inches x 13'6" with a 4'2" draft (when the whaler isn't on the davit).

3. The sundeck (decorated) in this case with a mess "O" crab.
4. The fore deck with our Sanabel catching some rays.
5. Our boat (way off but nicely framed) at Secret Cove BC.
Oh, and the avitar is from just off the south side of Mink Isl. just West of (sp) Predeaux Haven in Desolation Sound BC.

carv,
your'e not the 1st one not to mention what kind of boat you've got.
That pot of crab sure looks good.
It's got to the point that I like shrimp better though.
Got to learn how to catch them.
We get them from a local guy for $4 a pound.
You can see why I'm not yet skilled catching them.
Yea, I hear ya... When there are fresh spotted shrimp on the table I forget to take ANY pictures. Too busy eating.
Also, SafeWay had them (D crab) last week for $2.99 a pound. We sacraficed a few on Friday night while watching the Gig Harbor Christmas Boat parade (which by the way was GREAT!)
Carl,
both your egg harbor and your MT look great! do you still have the egg harbor??
The interior of the MT looks extremely, extremely cozy and welcoming. I also like the flushdeck design of the egg harbor. Both are great boats!
Steve,
I concur with the others- very nice looking trawler! What engine set up do you have and what's your top speed and approximate fuel burn? I assume single diesel, semi-displacement?
Thanks for the nice words. Yes, its a continuance of the CHB line from the 1980s and is now sold as the Clipper 36 in Australia, the Marine Trader 34 in the US and until two years ago the North Pacific 36 in North Americia. North Pacific Yachts now offers almost the same boat, but at 38 feet. My boat has a semi displacement hull, and fully laden displaces about 23,000 pounds. Its equipped with a Yanmar LHA 160 engine and at full throttle, 3300 RPMs, it makes just under 10 knots, although I normally cruise at 2000 RPM and 6 knots. Since first fuel up to now, (including gen-set and hydronic heater ussage) my average fuel burn has been 1.7 GPH. - SteveH

Hey...Magic...where was that taken?* I'm an NZeder originally, but I can't quite place that background.* For a minute I thought it might be Young Nick's Head off Gisborne (where I was born actually), in the background, but it's not, so is it Whangaparoa peninsula, north of Auckland?
