What's your favorite sedan-style trawler? 30-40'.
Just curious.
Just curious.
I love the Corvette 34, more popular in the UK where it orginated, the company went under, senior executives from the Fleming Yacht company purchased the forms, carried over two execs from the old company and are now producing the Corvette. Its nick name is the "baby Fleming" as it obviously has major input from Fleming and is built in the same yard as Flemings.
I like the design for many reasons but one is the inside living area is carried all the way to the transom and the cockpit seating area is above. In my opinion, cockpit areas are great space eaters with little gain.
My philosophy is like many - the smaller the boat that works for you is best. Thirty four feet in the Corvette configuration works well and is known for the roomiest interiors for a yacht its size:
I'm with you Larry . Have you seen the 47 Willard RPH on YW?
The meaning of "sedan"? One of life`s little mysteries. Does it come from the auto industry? Or "the sedan chair",an enclosed platform a person sat in, carried by 4 persons, one at each corner. (RTF will surely post a pic).How would one define a Sedan? Some of the suggested boats (aft-cabins) I wouldn't consider a sedan, but maybe I don't have a clear definition.
I think of a Sedan like the Mainship 350/390, 400. Also most of the Grand Banks (not aft cabin or 'classic') and Island Gypsy.
I often think of a Sedan like a Europa without the side deck overhangs and outboard upper deck supports. I've always like the Europa style because to me it looks like a classic mini-yacht.
Anyone who has been on TF for awhile won't be surprised by this post. Without question, the Halvorsen 32' Gourmet Cruiser was my favorite boat of all. We cruised her for 8 years & entertained several TF members. Although I love my present boat, the memories of SeaHorse II will be with me forever.What's your favorite sedan-style trawler? 30-40'.
