The Trawler Catamaran Concept

With Catamarans increasingly popular, designers are constantly creating new designs for greater comfort and stability. One such innovation is that of trawler catamarans. Where catamarans are known for their speed, and trawlers for their stability, the new Trawlercats bring out the best in them-exceptional comfort, agility, protection and fuel efficiency. They are definitely faster than traditional trawlers, as they can pierce the waves easily.

Trawlercats designed Technology behind the Trawlercats Twin hull provides undeniable stability. Trawler catamarans sit comfortably in the water, with their wide spaced hulls and their own buoyancy centre. This enhances boat performance overall. Another advantage of the hulls is that they can cope with any weather conditions at sea and maintain constant speed without interfering with people's comfort on board. Because of the tunnel effect created by the narrow hull and its shallow draft, the boat is not swaying side-to-side, thus giving no cause for marine sickness. Semi-displacement hull pierces easily through the wave, providing high speeds under harsh conditions as they do not produce bow wave resistance as a monohull powerboat. Reduced drag created by the two hulls and their ability to pierce the waves results in low fuel consumption.

Safety Trawlercats sit comfortably on the twin hull due to fixed skegs, without damaging any propellers, shafts or rudders. Skegs are designed to protect the propellers in the event of any impact or collision at sea.

Spacious and comfortable The Trawler catamarans are both spacious and comfortable because they have twin hulls. It becomes easier to cook and serve some delicious food and enjoy it with your family and friends with the cockpit, galley and saloon on the same level. The galley has enough storage capacity and is equipped with quality furnishings and panoramic views. Staircase from the saloon leads both the owner and the crew to the cabins below deck. The Trawler catamaran's width provides large passageways to move around the boat with ease.

A lot of manufacturers have come up with exclusive catamaran trawler boats. One of them is the Summerland 40 of the Fountaine Pajot which comes with 160 hp, 190 hp and 220 hp and can deliver the top up to 7.5 knots, 13.5 knots, and 24 knots respectively. Some Trawlercats have enhanced stability, comfort and speed faster than any trawler.

A Glacier Bay's major drawbacks are that it's expensive. Experienced monohull boaters may also not get used to how a catamaran feels when they mostly run flat and lean outboard during sharp turns.

Glacier Bay Boats Unlike the usual catamarans ' unique look, Glacier Bay boats are more stylish and suit all the needs of a boating family. The semi-displacement hulls provide lift, stability and buoyancy. What distinguishes it from catamarans is that it has full-fibreglass liner and the hatches and hardtops are molded with resin transfer. The displacement hulls of the Glacier Bay help the boat to traverse the waters at high speed, rather than skipping over it, thus providing a smooth ride. When it moves faster, most catamaran hulls lift up onto the water surface. The twin-shaped hull prevents the Glacier Bay from rising on an aircraft thus reducing any major impacts during high speed, such as bouncing or pounding.
