Emily Claire Side Trawler

by Gilbert Misson

The Emily Claire finally sailed today after some modifications: I had to fit a new motor, the Chinese motor wouldn't do the job & I fitted a Graupner 700 Turbo which was just the right motor for the boat. She moves through the water at a nice speed now. The trawl booms can be raised and lowered, and nets can be lowered into the water. I'm very happy with the way things went.
