Hi, all! We purchased our 1985 35’ Chien Hwa Trawler in July of 2020. Although we are new to owning a trawler, we are not new to boating. Mike, is a retired US Navy submariner and has his Coast Guard Captain’s license. This Ohio boy fell in love with the sea, and the Maine ocean-loving girl. I’m Renee, that ocean-loving girl. Our son, JT, is 17 and loves the sea as much as we do. We found the boat on the hard, in Rhode Island. So, after a weeks prep, we went to finalize our purchase. We had a speedy 15-min sea trial with the previous owner, dropped him off, and the three of us motored our way to Maine, reaching our destination in 3.5 days. What a trip! We have put our 1986 26’ Seaway Norstar up for sale and can’t wait to have a full Maine summer season in the trawler. We both work full time, but every possible moment, we head to our mooring just 20 mins from our home. We are looking forward to gaining trawler knowledge and advice as we go along. Thank you.
