As the researcher for the Classic Trawler Yachts Network I am actively working on the history of the Romsdal and Malahide yachts which were early examples of passagemaker motor yachts produced commercially (rather than one-off designs). I have an interest in all other early yachts meeting the idea of a circumnavigating or blue water serious motor yachts but our first aim is to document these two groups of boats...... our ultimate goal is to share this information with a large population of people via our website (www.classictrawlers.net). I am very excited about the amount of contact I am getting from several Romsdal and Malahide owners, one with 40 years of collection of information about the Romsdals!!! We encourage anyone with an interest or historical perspective on the boats to sign in, join the website to receive the periodic newsletter, and send us your information. Each small piece of info you remember may lead to finding and preserving these fine boats....... My cofounder of the Classic Trawler Yachts Network website Dennis Phethean and I encourage contact about your experiences with these vessels over the years, no matter how small it may seem to you...it may be the piece we need to make the story.....watch for our updates online and hopefully in nautical publications as the story unfolds. We believe we know now the whereabouts and current activities of the Romsdal M/V Edward Grieg that had to heave to in the English Channel in a major storm in the late 1950's when enroute to the US. She is still afloat and looking good!!! Stay tuned for the story. See the story of her trip to the US on the reproduction of the SEA and Pacific MotorBoat magazine article on the website.
