The real question of course is - Why would a boat owner who doesn't think of his/her boat as a "trawler" join and participate in the "Trawler Forum"? Makes no sense to me.

WesK,
Have you been on a sailboat or cruisers forum? Most of the subject matter here applies to boats in general. There's a lot to be learned here and enough chat to have a significant social content. Also consider the fact that most TF members don't post.
