Could be a typo for "Vaguer".

Thanks cardude. That was my teen project car, V8 powered of course.
Oh cool. My sister drove a Vega with the stock 4 cylinder and it was not a great car according to my dad. Very susceptible to over heating and blown head gaskets is what he experienced.
I rear-ended a Pinto once. Idiot slammed on his brakes at a yellow light, I was behind him on a patch of ice, in a much, much heavier car.
Remember how it was all over the news that Pintos would explode if you rear-ended them?
I never saw a guy get out of a car so fast!
Unfortunately, there was no damage. And certainly not enough to blow it up.
What was this thread about again?
Raise your hand if you knew that Nordhavn built sport fishing boats-

I’ve never thought of the words “trawler” and “trimaran” as going together. Yet here we are: https://youtu.be/k7kQToTeE_E
They’ve just announced a fifty-footer. Given that they lean toward practical design instead of luxury, I’m guessing that the 50 will be “affordable” (for a 50-foot boat). The 56 has a 5000 nm range and basically sips diesel like an aperitif.
Here's an interesting boat I saw at Sakonnet Safe Harbor in Portsmouth Rhode Island yesterday: a North Aegean 30. It looked like a nifty little trawler. There was a thread with another spotting a couple of years ago. It seems to have been built in Turkey and sold by Capital City Yachts in Olympia WA. The company's website is now defunct, so they presumably went out of business.
I peeked inside. Nice layout with a dinette to port, an a forward cabin with a walk-around island berth. There are some old youtube videos out there as well. It reportedly was powered by a 80 hp Yanmar.
A screaming deal at $1.2mm brand new at the current exchange rate!

They don't
Some Muppet in marketing wants you to think that
Great fuel economy, multihull speed, lots of space and light, CE category A rating, ocean crossing range, what’s not to like?
Lots to like, but it's not a trawler
It's a power tri.
This is not a trawler either nor is it a cruising yacht but it crossed an ocean economically.
Don't let the marketing Muppets see it, who knows what label they'll slap on it.

This crosses oceans economically - NOT a trawler
This also crossed oceans economically - NOT a trawler
Egads
That's a whole new level of sharp edged IKEA
Fair enough, but what makes any recreational vessel a trawler?
A label from the Marketing Muppets for most.
From a design point of view, load carrying full displacement hull shape is going to be a big part of it.
I like it! Certainly not an open water boat but great little coastal cruiser
Here are a couple of boats I found interesting. Location Lulu's Homeport Marina Orange Beach, Alabama. Lulu is Jimmy Buffet's sister.
The steel trawler is Ulysses (and for sale) the sailboat is "Old Squaw"
