Stern Trawler General Description:


A single mast fishing vessel.

The play area amidships creates a fun place for several young fishermen to play and plot their next course.

Overall length is 12 feet. The mast height is 8 feet.

The stern trawler comes fully assembled. Onsite rigging setup is required.

Building details:

The vessel is handcrafted using traditional wooden boatbuilding techniques, the construction is exceptional. The framing, top timbers, cap rail and deck houses are crafted of 3/4 inch white oak. The hull planking is 1/2 inch thick. Planks are fastened on frames with stainless steel screws. The deck is crafted of 1 x 6 inch IPE, fastened on frames with stainless deck screws. IPE is a brazilian walnut known for its beauty and durability.

Standard features:

The stern trawler has a pilot house with a 16 inch solid bronze ship’s wheel. The wheel is solidly mounted and turns freely for play. Play throttle and knobs are for fun. The aft slide allows kids to climb aboard, and then slide off the stern. The port and starboard booms support climbing balls on each side of the vessel. Decorative port and starboard running lights are securely mounted. The flag staff proudly displays the U.S flag.

Rigging:

The mast and two booms are crafted of solid IPE. The rig is supported with PVC coated galvanized 1/4 inch wire. The wire coating is smooth to protect the hands of children. Colors are available. The wire terminations are protected and covered.

Finish stains:

We have a wide variety of vibrant finish stains available. They create long lasting fun colors for kids play. The interior of the vessel is oiled to allow for the natural beauty of the white oak and IPE to show through. All finishes are safe for children’s play.

Base structure/ setup details:

The base is crafted of moisture resistant material and designed to set on a flat surface. The vessel is fastened to the ground with 4 to 6 simple ground anchors. The ground and play area surrounding the vessel should be prepared with loose mulch or otherwise appropriate ground cover. We are available to discuss options if needed. This base design allows for easy movement of the vessel to another place, if so desired.
