Ladybug: A 32' trawler-yacht

摘要

This striking 32' trawler-yacht from Jay Benford's drawing board will house an agreeable couple, with room for occasional guests. When the owners tire of a neighborhood, their cruising cottage can move down the coast at an easy pace. As a young man I spent some good time, and some rough time, working aboard a commercial trawler along the mid-Atlantic coast. The old boat offered the comfort and joy of spacious security. Although down in the fo'c's'le a sardine might have gone claustrophobic, up on deck acres of clear pine swept forward cradled between protective bulwarks. When really tough weather hit, we often huddled in the compact pilothouse, which nestled back aft in a place of relatively gentle motion.
