During WWII, many a troop got sick by the normal 30 degree (or more!) roll of the round bottom troop carriers.
DonGosh, next thing you know Eric will be saying that I don't have a trawler!!
Yes, trawler style boats as any unstabilized boat will roll at displacement speeds or at rest. Dynamic stability is a very real thing. If you don't believe it, come ride with me at planing speeds. Then slow down to displacement speeds. My deep V in a beam sea will roll like a round bottomed boat.
You will get used to the characteristics of your boat, and drive it for the best comfort in different situations. Just don't tempt fate. Be reasonable and take precautions.
Hi Larry, new to this forum.
I am very interested in paravanes, how to get, or build them, install and use. So I am very interested in your experience.
I have a GB42 Classic and sail at about 8,5 - 9 knots for 9 houras as an ave.
I am having also mooring stabilizers which work great.
Thanks

Hi everyone - new to the board and thinking seriously about getting a CHB 34 trawler or something similar. Wanted to know if any of you ever have an issue with rolling side to side while underway or at anchor. Thanks
Don
having had you pass me on the ICW I say although your boat looks like a trawler it certainly does not run like a trawler
Don
not sure where, probably in the nc or sc We were in the parade south. I remember thinking how many times in a day you must get off and on plane You did give me a gentle pass thanks
Rolling on a trawler . . . . . if you mean rolling completely over, no, not yet.
If, however you mean that gentle rocking motion . . . . . . . you know the one I mean . . . .
Yea, I guess they do just a little.
In the 'Ditch' last week on the way back from Galveston. Photos were taken by friends from a rather large Sea Ray as they gently passed me by.
I just hang on and enjoy the ride! Actually, I quietly smile all the way past the fuel docks . . . . .
I just love boating in all it's forms. Isn't it fabulous we get to do this?
Actually, my friends in their Sea Ray were not the culprits. The 100'+ crew boat in front of them had just rocked all of our worlds.
We were playing, they were working, room for everyone, right?
maybe, but its more fun to blame the sea rays and ultra fast trawlers
Nobody here has an ACTUAL trawler unless they happen to have a trawl net rig on board and know how to use it.
