Wifey B: I hate misuse of the English language, but...........

Isenglass is unnecessary and I don't like when a brand like Strataglass is used as generic. But clear vinyl is a great substitute or even just vinyl windows or anything like that so you have all those to use instead.

However, I've got no substitute for Trawler. I think it's a good word if we use it in the broader sense that has become common to represent all the slower cruising boats. We've used "trawler type" but I think the better term is "recreational trawler." I think "Cruising trawler" is ok, but I'm not a fan of "trawler yacht."

So I'm going to go to "recreational trawler" which makes all the uses of trawler on this site acceptable because no one is under the illusion this is a fishing trawler site, it's understood that it's recreational.
