Georgs,

It sure is tough to compare a Romsdahl 65 to a Willard 30, and either one
of those to all the great boats in between.  How about the best two or
three in 10' classes starting with 25 or 30'.  Of course, in the process of
coming up with the best 10 trawlers of all time, we may very well cover all
those varied sizes, anyway.  In any case, here goes:

  1. Willard 40
  2. Krogen 42
  3. Bill Brees' custom steel 65' PH "Where To"
  4. Krogen 48
  5. Willard 30/4
  6. Most of the DeFever designs 48' and up
  7. Romsdahl 55 and up
  8. Great Harbour 37 (coastal, but great living space)

I've run out of steam and brain cells.  Someone else will have to fill in
the rest of the blanks.
