T&T: Define "trawler"

[Roger Bingham]

Hi All

In order to make their arguments more convincing, some people are applying
the trawler definition literally.
We, surely, are talking about "Trawler-Yachts".
A leisure craft which is based on a particular type of working boat and has
been adapted to provide some level of creature comforts.
The nets (trawls) and smelly fish rooms are not now required.

Yachtworld.com has 27 sub-categories under the heading Power.
This makes it relatively easy to find the boat you are looking for even
accepting some overlap between types.
Something less than ten may be suitable for "Trawler-Style Cruising" but
they are not trawler-yachts.
