GlenL's Noyo Trawler?

[Wild Dingo]

Okay as I was trawlin around the net tonight I dropped in on GlenLs site and found this little beauty... so I got to wonderin if anyone knows someone whos builded her? seen the plans? any info other than whats on the site? any designers want to give their view from whats on the site?

Im just thinkin at present... but I do like me fishin and somethin sturdy would please me somewhat and other than havin a go at buildin a flamin great Pearl Lugger or even my attempt at re-designin one to around 30ft {still waitin on the critique TonyH! ;) } I was wonderin what yous fellas thought of this wee trailerable fishin boat?

Have you taken a look at Glen-L's "Project Registry" and "Customer Photos" sections?

A fellow in Malta has built "Noyo" and has given his email address in the "Project Registry" section. And there're photos of two completed boats in the "Customer Photos" section. One set of photos belong to the Malta Noyo and the other set belongs to a builder in Wisconsin, USA.

For those not familiar with her, here she is:

A corn-fed but capable-looking vessel.

And a little OT, here's teh place she's named after. This is the entrance to Noyo Harbor, just south of Fort Bragg, CA. The entrance is about 100' wide. There are a bunch of boats upriver a little way. Definitely a place you want a seaworthy boat, particularly in the winter.

Inland a few miles is GREAT steelhead fishing, Salmon fishing is superb too.... The smaller streams are swarming with trout. Not only is that the home of the Makela bros. boat yard, but also the home of the largest redwood mill in the world, and of couse the home of "The Russian Gnome" (AKA James Krenov) The off shore fishing is mostly for Halibut. If you scanned that picture either righ by about 3 miles... Or left and up by about 3 miles, you could see the 2 houses I rented when I lived there. Cold and gray and foggy most of the year. If you ever saw the Goldie Hawn / Kurt Russel movie "Deep end", that's where it was filmed.
