I really do not have an answer as to whether or not there is such a boat as a
Pleasure Trawler or Recreational Trawler. However, I am of the opinion that if
a person cannot go offshore (20 or 30 miles) in 5 or 6 foot seas and travel
safely (maybe not comfortably) at 6 knots or slower, then the word TRAWLER
should never be used to describe or define that boat. Most Nordhavns, Kadey
Krogens, and Willards can do that. Other boats commonly called trawlers
cannot.
