BUILD HISTORY
The Pacific Trawler series was designed by Blaine Seeley, a respected Southern California naval architect, in the early 1970s. The Pacific Trawler 40 was created by extending Seeley's original 37-foot design by 3 feet, and was built by Roger Drill in Bellingham, Washington. Seeley's design philosophy emphasized sea-kindly hull forms, fuel efficiency, and long-range capability, principles perfectly embodied in this 2002 Pacific Trawler 40.
