These trawlers are designed in accordance
with Lloyds for category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which
is much better than the EU and other Classification Societies and the
CE-A require. Complete stability calculations to USCG offshore
requirements are included in the design package. All calculations are also
cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure that the design meets
world-wide standards and specifications.
In the case of STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES, all plate parts belonging to the hull, deck and
superstructure that are accurately cut to size are included. The parts are
marked with the appropriate part number and engraved matching marking
lines to assist in the assembly and location of the part in its position.
Cutting method is Plasma / Oxygen, ensuring highest accuracy and smooth
edges.
Plate parts are cut from Lloyds approved A Grade
Shipbuilding quality STEEL that has been coated with factory applied Sigma
weld MC welding primer. We use and recommend steel plate that has the
official designation ISO standard 10474 or EN 10204 with 3.1.B
certificate.

Bruce, I had reply from ROYAL YACHTING ASSOCIATION on
the plan
evaluations. They have been very quick and say they have no concerns about suitability for
Design category A (unlimited offshore).
They
made a nice compliment on the quality of your
plan information.
Thank You Bruce for your
advice, I recalled
that you were very easy to work with back in the late 70's when I built my
Offshore 38. I see that same persona still exists.
Thanks you for the advice on boat selection. Regards Glen

This was the start of her 2,600 nm trip to the Singapore, with stops planned in
the Philippines
and Kota Kinabalu, although the boat had sufficient range to complete the trip
non-stop.
The Owner is very satisfied with the interior and sea trials; max
speed about 12.7 knots with twin 235HP John Deere at 2000 rpm and 7.0~7.5 knots
with one engine at 2000rpm.
Onboard were Mr. Rod Steel as the Owner/Skipper, his
partner Angie Sach, Mr. John Holbrook and Mr. Alistair Dow. “MY Blue Steel”
arrived in Singapore,
where she will be based, on 14th January 2010 and is available for
viewing there by prior arrangement.
I
am proud to build Bruce Roberts designs, which I am very impressed with, and
thank you for your assistance in marketing GHI Yachts Korea.
As
you know, we have built to your design (1) Trawler Yacht 43 (2) Trawler 620 (3)

launched in Canada.
Hi Bruce, This is Aaron, Tom's son writing to you.
I've been checking his email for him. They left yesterday
morning and were running in 20 foot seas, he said that the boat
handled great. I talked to them last night and everything was
still going fine (calmed down to 5 footers). Thanks, Aaron
Springer
Hi Bruce, We finally got the boat home on the 19th of October. She is
beautiful and performed well on the trip from Nova Scotia. Attached are a couple of pictures. She is beautiful and we are
very pleased with her design. I intend to invite Hal up to see her
when her systems are in order. Regards, Tom & Patty Springer
JANUARY 2011 ... The Emerald Lady is in Marsh Harbour, Abaco,
Bahamas until April. It was a wonderful trip. The boat ran
great and was very comfortable. My wife is very pleased with
the boat's seaworthiness. Total mileage was 1200 NM on 950
gal. of fuel. It uses about 150 hp to go 8kts. thru the
water under normal sea conditions
We are home in PA for the holidays and will return to the
Bahamas in early January. At that time I will send you some
current pictures. Have a Happy New Year! Regards, Tom
Springer

Here we see how you can build a mobile houseboat on a
suitable trawler hull.
The TY 620 houseboat could be powered by twin outboards,
stern drives or Yacht drives ... the amount of horsepower would depend on
the type of cruising you have in mind as well as general operating
conditions you expect in your area.

EMAIL BRUCE
If you are interested in this Version !
This new
design was conceived because this is the minimum size of trawler where an
aft stateroom and a level salon / aft can be combined to make the perfect 2
stateroom / 2 double guest cabin accommodation.
It is possible to
create an aft stateroom in a trawler of shorter length BUT this means it is
necessary to raise the aft deck to provide headroom in the aft stateroom
with the resulting requirement of stairs from the main salon up to a raised
aft deck. This arrangement is often seen in smaller craft but is less than
desirable if you can afford the luxury of the perfect layout of the Trawler
650.
For those whose
cruising area requires a shallow draft vessel, and then it is possible to
reduce the draft to 4 ft – 1.22 m by using twin tunnels.
If you prefer an
‘performance trawler’ that is one that can achieve say speeds in excess of
20 knots then again this is possible but the preferred building material in
that case should be either aluminum or fiberglass.
As you can see this
new design offers a wealth of possibilities as a long range serious cruising
trawler and some versions will be suitable for the addition of sail assist
to make extended passages possible while saving fuel under favourable
conditions. |

From TY 620 builder :
Hi, By the way, the TY 620 - 62 foot
trawler yacht of Bruce's design that we are currently building is coming
along very well. Just received the drawings ( for TY 620 ) and we are
impressed by the amount of detail on these. We have made copies and
have our guys studying them. We find these help the guys on the floor to
understand the assembly process and things go much quicker. The quality of
the STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES parts are the best we have ever seen, and as a result, we are saving
time in the build. At present, we have 9 welders/fitters working on the boat
in three teams. We have almost all of the plate hung in place and
tacked up. We anticipate the seam welding will start within a few
weeks as there are some details to attend to. But we must say again, that we
are very happy with the STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES quality. Brian
From another TY 620 builder:
Hi Bruce, Well we're coming along fine with our project.
I'm amazed at how straight forward has been. We are having a lot of fun. My employees are
anxious to come to work each day as they enjoy the progress as much as I. Thanks for
your help, Lee
Lee Simpson's comments to others
"As we worked, more and more respect came to Bruce Roberts for
his designs. Things that made no sense came to understanding as we flowed through the
process"
|
Lee Simpson who is building a TY 620 B from our
STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES writes :
Hi Bruce, Sorry for not writing sooner. We are really enjoying the project. I
have a friend that comes to work on the boat in the evening just for the relaxation. We are
almost finished welding the hull. We will build the house and pilothouse on a gig on the
ground.
I must remove for transport and feel there are benefits to building on the ground. I will
lift into place before moving to make sure everything fits. We are making some
changes from the original layout to better fit my needs. We've traded the amidships stateroom for a
good sized head, pantry and shop/mechanical room. I will install all plumbing, electrical,
day-tank, fuel management and heating in this room.
I've moved the engine in place and plan to build a box similar to a sound shield on a
generator around the main engine. Quiet is important to me. All tanks are in place. I plan
a transom door to the lazarette from the swim step, through the engine room and into the
mechanical room. hope to get my office gal to add more photos soon. Regards,
Lee

Hi Well, the day finally arrived, the STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES is here and on our shop floor. The steel looks great, we are starting to sort it into piles of the frames and
associated pieces. I think the guys in Holland did an excellent job of cutting as
the edges of the plates are very clean and sharp with almost no bevel. This last
point is important, as we find with plasma cut STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES, if there is any bevel on the edges it
tends to add up and compound errors where multiple parts fit together. So, we are
anticipating no problems at this stage. Hope you enjoyed the pictures Bruce (our Bruce)
sent you, we will send more as we start assembling the STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES. We actually made good
progress on Friday and managed to build most of the building frames as well as all of the
jigs. We are altering the building frame a bit to allow us to set the jigs on the
floor as we are limited in height. As it is we will have to build the mast in a way
that it can be bolted on after the boat is out of the building. Yes, everything looks fine
and we are sure the STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES will assemble fast.
Sincerely, Brian |
| Hi Hal,
We have bounced back and
forth between DC and Hydraulic thruster' s and have finally decided on hydraulic mainly
because we would need a 48 Volt thruster and that meant 12v, 24v, & 48v DC and we just
think we would rather have one dc voltage (12V). We had sized the generator for hydraulic
anyway so it just makes sense. We think we will use two 2500 watt inverters and split the loads again to
stay with 12 volts DC only. I want to thank you for working so closely through the
construction. He will be complete with the mechanical and exterior
within a month and my wife and I will retire in April and work on the interior full time.
I am anticipating that work to take 3 to 4 months which is longer than it took to do all the rest. Janet and I are very impressed with your design
and would highly recommend both of you to anyone who asks.
We will continue to send pictures and updates as we begin our part of the project.
Thanks again. Ralph E. Elliott III (Butch) |
Bruce, I had reply from RYA on plan
evaluations. They have been very quick and say they have no concerns about suitability for
design category A. Nice compliment on the quality of your
plan information. Everything seems to be OK. They used Naval Architecture Services
