The Trawlers & Trawlering web site is listed below - simply double click on the address <http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/>. Click on the gray headline Looking for the ideal boat for the Great Loop? or the words Read More at the bottom of the paragraph under the photograph of the Two Js V on the Georgian Bay. The article was written for those who are just beginning to think about their Americas Great Loop Cruise adventure and have lots of questions about what type of boat is suited for long range cruising and specifically for doing the Great Loop. Those further along in the planning stages will have purchased and studied Skipper Bobs books, attended a West Marine Trawler Fest, and/ or joined the Americas Great Loop Cruisers Association and attended one of their Rendezvous with a Looper Boat Crawl. We hope you find our article both informative and useful -- we dont expect everyone to agree with everything weve said, as we know better! We aren't the experts, but we have been there and done that. So, take our views for what they are worth and do your own thing (we wont be around to remind you that we said differently!). John and Judy Gill Two Js V, a 36 ft.
