We are looking at purchasing either a 390 or 400 Mainship trawler OR a PDQ 34 Power Catamaran for cruising around the Caribbean (Bahamas to Turks and Caicos) for and extended period of time approx 1 year. Will be anchored the majority of our time only being on the line when necessary (shopping, supplies etc.)
Are trawlers stable at anchor?
Any reservations for single engines vs. the twin engines?
The PDQ 34 is high on our list for the stability and smooth ride as it has a 16'10 beam and has twin 75 HP Yanmar diesels. It's 14,000 lbs with a 2'4 draft.
Any input, suggestions, or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
