NEW Voyager TY DESIGNS: This is your opportunity to have your own passagemaking 'Voyager' designed and built at an affordable price. Now is your opportunity to put those pieces together into one boat that you REALLY like ! Consider customizing one of our new designs. Bring us YOUR ideas. We can offer Steel or Aluminum Plans and Cutting files, CUT-TO-SIZE KITS or Part-Built or Complete Boats. The Trawler Yacht 55 is already a popular design and we have sold a number of sets of cutting files and kits for this serious offshore vessel.

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 55 Here we see the artists impression of the Passagemaker TY 55 ... as you will see in the photos below this design is living up to its promise.
	Voyager TY 55 SHAKE-DOWN CRUISE. Hi guys ! Last week we arrived from a "shake - down " cruise , non-stop, in full sea conditions of 605 miles ..... we had a good weather window and the voyage went by without incidents . Our average cruise speed was 8,7 knots but don't have the fuel consumption as yet ( think will be close to 21 lts/hr) Unfortunately none of the three of us had any experience with trawlers to have a good judgement on her motion but it seem pretty good to me. As I gain more experience and improve my judgment on the boat I will pass it on to you . best regards Caio
	Voyager TY 55 There are some options available in the way you build the top deck ... the latest versions have a large area of lounging as well as stowage for RIB or other dinghy.
	Voyager TY 55 This option shows the galley down ... but as you can see from some of the photographs it is simple to transfer this facility to the main deck and include it in the salon.
