Trawler image

Image:False Creek boats.JPG shows F/V Krista Gail rigged to fish as a purse seiner, and is thus not appropriate for an entry on fishing trawlers. The area of False Creek where the photo was taken is home predominantly to seiners, trollers and gillnetters... 24.84.44.248 (talk) 03:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trawler Game

I used to play this game in grade school.

You control a trawler with various nets to catch fish and other seafood.

I don't know what the system name was. I think it was unix, but I'm not sure.

I really want this game.

please respond if you have any info on the game I'm talking about.

Trawler Boats

I have added a page Trawler (boat). Maybe a disambiguation page is needed.

Cruising Trawler

Seems that "Cruising Trawler" should be changed to "Recreational Trawler." It is a better description. Not all trawler owners "cruise," which has a long-term connotation (several weeks or more). Many -- probably most -- owners just make day trips or weekend trips.

There are a few changes I would suggest on the Cruising Trawler page, but I will list them there.

If anyone has any thoughts, please speak up.

I agree that "cruising trawler" is not the best name for this type of vessel and suggest that a better name is "trawler yacht". I disagree that the term "cruising trawler" has a long term travel connotation. To me the boating term "cruiser" refers to a boat, usually with a planing hull, that is relatively fast such as a Bayliner or Carver that will get to its destination very quickly but is not suitable for blue water navigation. The word now often applied to pleasure boats used for long term/long distance travel is "passagemaker". I strongly agree that a trawler yacht, like fishing trawlers, must be a displacement hull. A Grand Banks 42 is a beautiful yacht but due to its semi-displacement hull does not qualify as a trawler yacht. Trawleryacht (talk) 21:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
