Kit or Cutting files Developed from our proven Trawler range - This kit is for the serious cruiser or 'live-aboard'. The displacement hull is capable of cruising at around 8 to 14 kts depending on horsepower of the engine(s). This design is well suited for extended cruising in luxury. The standard version has side decks however we can arrange other versions with either single side deck or with full wide-body salon.
These trawlers are designed in accordance
with Lloyds for category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which
is much better than the EU and other Classification Societies and the
CE-A require. Complete stability calculations to USCG offshore
requirements are included in the design package. All calculations are also
cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure that the design meets
world-wide standards and specifications.
In the case of KITS, all plate parts belonging to the hull, deck and superstructure that are accurately cut to size are included. The parts are marked with the appropriate part number and engraved matching marking lines to assist in the assembly and location of the part in its position. Cutting method is Plasma / Oxygen, ensuring highest accuracy and smooth edges.
Plate parts are cut from Lloyds approved A Grade
Shipbuilding quality STEEL that has been coated with factory applied Sigma
weld MC welding primer. We use and recommend steel plate that has the
official designation ISO standard 10474 or EN 10204 with 3.1.B
certificate.

Voyager TY 520 Kit or Cutting files DEAR BRUCE, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE OUR LAST COMMUNICATION. WELL IT HAS BEEN VERY BUSY INDEED BUT FINALLY OUR TY 520 "ANEMONE" JOINED THE SEAS ON 28TH OF AUGUST AND WE SAILED DOWN TO BODRUM FM ISTANBUL IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE BEEN ENJOYING HER EVER SINCE, WE ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN 2000 MILES ON OUR LOG ! SHE IS A FANTASTIC BOAT, STEADY, WELL BALANCED, VERY COMFORTABLE , SEAWORTHY AND BEAUTIFUL. EVERYWHERE WE GO PEOPLE COME AND EXPRESS THEIR ADMIRATION. "ANEMONE" IS A GREAT TRAWLER, FIRST OF ALL SHE IS A REAL TRAWLER; EVERYWHERE WE GO PEOPLE COME AND ADMIRE HER, ASK FOR OUR PERMISSION TO TAKE PHOTOS. SHE IS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO A VERY TRUSTWORTHY BOAT IN ALL RESPECTS. WE WENT INTO FORCE 7 WINDS AND SEAS, NO PROBLEM SHE CAN HANDLE MUCH MORE VERY EASILY. WE EXTENDED THE FLY BRIDGE PRO RATA WHICH ENABLED US TO PARK OUR TENDER ( 4,30 MTRS ) AND A VERY COMFORTABLE SITTING CORNER FOR MORE THAN 6 PEOPLE. I PLACED A VERY SUFFICIENT KITCHEN ON THE BRIDGE THUS THE LIVING BECAME ENORMOUS, NEARLY 20 SQM. I ALSO ADDED A HUGE STORAGE BOX ON THE FORE DECK, IN FRONT OF THE PORTUGUESE BRIDGE WHICH IS ALSO A VERY COMFORTABLE SETTEE. UNDER THE DECK WE MANAGED TO PLACE 1 MASTER CABIN AND 2 REASONABLE GUEST CABINS ALL WITH ENSUITE HEADS AND SHOWERS. THE FIRST PLATE WAS TACK WELDED ON AUGUST 3, 2006 AND WE SLID HER DOWN TO THE SEA ON THE 18TH OF AUGUST 2007. SO IT TOOK US 1 FULL YEAR TO FINISH HER COMPLETELY I.E. ALL SYSTEMS INSTALLED, ALL FINISHING DONE. THANKS ONCE MORE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND BEING SUCH A GREAT DESIGNER. KIND REGARDS, ALI |

Voyager TY 520 Kit or Cutting files Hi, Just thought I would give you an update on our TY520. The kitset arrived in Bangkok from Holland and Geoff Reid of Thai-Kiwi Marine is doing a great job of building our boat. After two and half months the boat is all tacked together and ready for the final welding to begin. I have attached some pictures. Regards Al Dow From: Al and Mel Dow Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2007 4:11 AM A few more pictures of our TY520 going together. We have been very pleasantly surprised with the amount of room in this boat. Regards Al Dow The boat is looking great. some more pictures of our TY520 taking shape at Thai Kiwi Marine in Thailand. The high standards that Geoff’s workers have is evident in these pictures. Our project is turning into a regular little ship. Regards Al Dow |

JANUARY 2010 Bruce, Sorry for not having been in touch for so long it has been a very busy year for Tina and I. Anyway our boat is moving along really well and your cuttings files work perfectly the builder had no problems at all, we are now at the outfitting stage so in the next week they plan to move her out of the building shed to blast and paint the hull and superstructure, internally the insulation is now complete and they are installing the first of the woodwork, the carpenters employed by Boat Boats and Boats are all ex Grand Banks people who where laid off when they closed in Singapore so the quality of the workmanship is first class, they also have their own in house design team so it has been great to see our ideas turned into reality. If all goes well we are still on schedule to complete the boat around March and if we can complete the inclination and sea trials in time we may try and get the boat into the Singapore boat show. Mainly of the main systems such as the steering , hydraulic thruster are all class approved commercial systems which have actually worked out more or less the same price as the yacht equivalents anyway, Dave and Tina Anderson. |
