May be a stupid question, but why do trawlers have masts?

There can be several reasons. Commonly a mast and boom are used as a dinghy hoist, a mounting for radar or antennas, and rarely as a place to rig a steadying sail.
Sailing a trawler? Now that's new to me! But it all seems new to me.
THIS is one of the better reasons to have a mast.
