Georgs, I could not resist responding to your "Top 10" question. Since most of my internet connection is done through a fairly slow cell phone connection, I have dropped my subscription to the list and just catch up once in a while by calling up http://www.samurai.com/lists/trawler world list. I've taken the liberty, therefore, of sending you this directly by e-mail rather than subscribing again just for one posting. My vote, like most other trawler owners, goes for my own boat the Grand Banks 42 Classic. We logged over 6,000 miles on our hull number 1374 this year, completing the "Big Loop Tour" and other more minor excursions. January will see us in the Dry Tortugas, March in the Bahamas, hope to catch the Trawler Fest in April, July in Lake Superior, then, who knows? I would appreciate hearing from someone who has gone all the way out the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic then down the Canadian Maritimes. The GB42, with over 1400 hulls in the water by now is surely one of the Top 10 in at least popularity. We found it a very comfortable and reliable coastal cruiser, true to its billing.
