The Boat weighed 18 tons when moved , including engine and fuel tanks, probably 25 tons with empty tanks and completed. The height on the lorry was 15 feet 10 inches with the keel 12 inches from the road. The photos with the top off was when the low rider trailer was not available. Cost to...

Will do

It's to create some interest in what you can do yourself , the boat will be completed and launched this year.

Will do and thank you

Have additional two tons of ballast to add between forward frames 4 and 5 need to see how she lies really, but also have a hollow skeg under the engine room. This would easily hold additional 3 tons , in the design this is where additional ballast is installed if you add a flybridge.

Thanks for the info, more homework :-)

Has anyone got any design drawings or information on paravane rigs ? or experience and advice on using and when to deploy ??

Been following Conall for a couple of years , a very strong job and very knowledgable yardy. Thanks for the info.

It's very expensive for a leisure boat, but do have to say a mariners dream looking at all the big vessels in such close proximity to smaller leisure ones. Alll perfectly choreographed till the large vessel enters the lock first and clicks it into ahead. Then a little excitement for a few moments.

We are currently having a Sailing Adventure Holiday on a friends motor yacht , The Trawler I am building is still in the UK and on dry land. Hope this clarifies and your not losing it :-)

It's has been a challenge at times and had a few names, Rusting Away and Empty wallet were the most popular nick names lol.

I could not have afforded any other way, utilising my skills for the whole of the fitting out and paint schedule. A good group of friends and BBQs and a vessel that will take my wife Tracey and I with friends anywhere safely. 4000 mile range. Hence the boat name Trasea

Thought of a Bruce Roberts Ty43 , a perfect vessel and all steel, 30 tons gross with unrestricted sailing. Mine has a 210 HP DEUTZ and cruises at 7.5 knots using a litre per mile. Drop it back to 5.0 knots and saves another 40%
