Probably comical, but a LOT of old pics of trawlers we're with a sales gimmick sail where a steadying sail should be.A "For Sale" sign might be more effective. LOL

I always thought the sail on s trawler was to keep it from sailing at anchor. Like a planes tail.
Hi there - I just made an offer on a 34' CHB, my first trawler! While aboard I couldn't help noticing it has a mast and boom, but I can't find much info on using a sail on this boat out there. So I decided I should ask all of you here who know a great deal more about trawlers...so thanks in advance!!!
As a convenience you can also use the mast and boom to raise or lower a dinghy.
All really fascinating info, thank you all!
OH!!! I just got word that my offer on the trawler was accepted!!! Contingent on survey and sea trial soon.
Maybe I'll sew up a simple canvas sail to try out on her. If nothing else it could look cool...although I agree that the boom might turn out to be a PITA sometime.
Thanks again, folks!!!
