Design Discussions
As you can see, we have taken a different approach to designing our Great Harbour Trawlers. When you look at what so many of the popular brands of trawlers continue to offer, you'll see that they're pretty much a variation of the same old thing. And they continue to follow old design ideas which have been repeated so often that they seem like the gospel truth.
We started with a clean piece of paper and with a clear understanding of what THE INTENDED USE OF OUR TRAWLERS was going to be. Our trawlers are designed for those who want all the comforts of home in a safe, easy-to-handle, easy-to-maintain, modestly sized and priced vessel that can go virtually anywhere.
To achieve these objectives, and to keep our boats reasonably priced, we had to think differently - in some cases going against what so called "experts" continue to preach. We would like to share our thought process with you by posting the following series of design discussions, most of which have been published in the boating press. As you read them, please keep in mind the intended use of our Great Harbour Trawlers. Hopefully you'll see the connection between our design philosophies and the fact that we have so many owners who are living their dreams aboard their Great Harbour Trawler.
Please feel free to e-mail us with your comments. We love nothing better than a good discussion about boat design.
