5600-6600 Pilothouse Trawlers (click

The 5600-6600 Pilothouse Trawler range is a single or twin engine
vessel set up for long range cruising. It shares the same 17'4"
wide stable hull as the larger engine contemporary styled cousins
but the smaller engines allow for greater tankage to get the vessel comfortably to Fiji or beyond at 7-8 knots on a single tank of
diesel. Sizes can be adjusted from 56, 59, 62 or 66 feet via the
flexible hull mould which can be set at various lengths. This
allows the salon and pilothouse to expand. Also extended swim
platforms are useful for water-sports people.
Stabilisers are optional. The beamy hull is very stable on it's
own but for extra comfort stabilisers can be fitted.
Fishermen for decades built boats with round bilges for ultimate
load carrying of large catches but suffered stability. This tradition
has carried over to many pleasure trawlers and stabilisers or
Flopper stoppers become essential. Nowadays, many fishing boats
are hard chined express trawlers on semi-displacement hulls. They
get out to the fishing grounds faster, have greater stability
and comfort for working in a sea-way and still have sufficient
displacement to come home slow with a large catch.
Pleasure trawlers are also becoming more hard chined to eliminate
troublesome stabilisers and instead have built in stability. As
the pleasure trawler has less need for huge payload, the semi-displacement
hull we use allows long passage-making yet good built in stability.
Propellers can be protected and be a single main with a get home
wing engine or twin engines also with protected propellers. The
get-home driveline can be powered by a larger genset via belt,
electric or hydraulic drive or a completely separate wing engine
can be used. The wing engine drive-line commonly uses a folding
propeller to reduce drag.
Offshore passage-making systems are selected for reliability
and redundancy. Larger battery banks, water-maker, waste treatment,
larger tender arrangement and athwartships master are commonly
selected options for long range live-aboard cruising. For more
