If anyone is seriously interested in building trawler of any type, I would hi
ghly recommend that you have a chat with Tad Roberts, who worked at Bruce Kin
g Yacht Design and designed Antonisa, a 124 foot cold-molded vessel built by
Hodgdon's. He was also the designer of the Hinckley picnic boats and a slew o
f other spectacular vessels. His web site is www.tadroberts.ca , it's worth h
aving a peek around. He's designed extensively in traditional wood, cold mold
ed, and metal.
No connection other than as a satisfied client, he did most of the design wor
k for Island Eagle.
