Passagemaker TRAWLER 420 Steel KIT or Cutting Files.
 At last a KIT version of the popular TY 40/42
Over 500 already in service throughout the world. 

The build from scratch version of this very popular design has been built in large numbers so we have considerable feed-back on this boat. Ease of construction is a feature of this new kit. If you are considering building a traditional trawler you will love this proven vessel.

The TY 420 lines are based on 'real fishing trawler lines' and this ensures wonderful sea-keeping qualities.  Read the comments of one owner who has now covered several thousand miles in the proto-type vessel. The accomodation can be varied to suit your needs and the boat is capable of carrying a auxiliary sail rig if required.
 

Roberts TY40/42 owner reports on his boat:

 "I launched this boat in June of '97 at Michigan city, IN. Shakedown cruise got a perfect 10. I just completed a cruise to Florida via the Tenn-Tom to Tampa where I completed the interior. I returned via the Intercostal, East coast, Hudson, Erie Canal and the Great Lakes. 
This vessel performed beyond my wildest expectations !
Fuel economy 10, handling 10, speed 9+ pitch stability 9+, roll stability 8 I used no ballast "  Robert J. Wouda

(Designers note: We recommend ballast in all of our trawlers).
