For the Second Time
Neville 47 Trawler was chosen #1
The Peoples Choice Award Winner
Stuart Trawler Fest - 2007
For the second time in a row, the Neville Trawlers were
on display at the expanded Stuart Florida Trawler Fest and once again
you have picked the Neville 47 your choice among all of the major brands
featured there. It was a great to get the chance to show her to
you for a third time in the last few months. Getting the chance to meet
with you and answer your questions, however, was even more fun.
Throughout the course of three days the whole Neville
Trawlers team and I shared the Neville 47 with boaters, some with
extensive boating experience as well as many new to the lifestyle.
What all had in common, however, was a genuine interest in our boat and
what made it different from all the others. We did our best to
explain it as simply or in as much detail as they wanted. A good part of
our time was also spent discussing the advantages of metal boats and why
they are worth consideration.
The end of the show brought our return to the cold north.
The boat is now back at her home pier in Annapolis, MD where it is
available for viewing, or for sea trials. If you had a chance to see the
boat but still have more questions, give me a call or visit our Neville
Trawlers website
www.nevilletrawlers.com. If you have not had an opportunity to see
the boat also please call and let us show her to you.
We do appreciate the opportunity to help you in your
search to find your next cruising boat.

Neville 47
Trawler chosen #1
Soundings Peoples
Choice Award Winner
at the
Solomons Trawler Fest.
The coming out
party for the new line of Neville Trawlers was not only a big hit,
it was also a great deal of fun. We brought with us two great
boats and your reception could not have been more gratifying. The
boat that began the whole exercise, Beverlee Jane was
there. She was the first Neville-39 as featured in the book Voyaging
Under Power.
She brought
along her big sister the Neville-47. This is the sister ship
of the boat Carol Marie featured in the September 2005
issue of PassageMaker magazine. She was also selected for and the October 2006 issue of Ocean
Navigator and their American Yacht review (see below).
Both boats are
steel built trawlers with long range capabilities. Hundreds of attendees
climbed aboard and apparently liked what they saw. Of the 50+
boats on display the N-47 was voted "best in show". We thank you
for that honor.
With that
great introduction we are planning to head south this winter to the
Stuart Florida Trawler Fest to show the boat and meet more good friends.

The Annapolis
PowerBoat Show
NEVILLE
TRAWLERS
-serious
steel-
If Trawler Fest (Solomons) was the coming
out party, the Annapolis PowerBoat Show was the "big dance" for both boats
in the Neville Trawler line. The 39 and the 47 were both on
display. At several times in the show close to 40 people were
aboard and we had to restrict traffic. The only problem was folks
clustering down below and having to polka to get out. Even with
that number aboard our heavy trawler didn't even notice it.
It was particularly
fun to see the men cluster in the engine room. On a number of occasions
with 5 or 6 guys in the engine room I felt as though I was living out an
episode of the TV show Home Improvement. There was no Tim Taylor
or obvious
grunts, but much admiration for the space provided and the workable
installation.
For us a big
announcement at the show was the Neville 42 LRC currently under
development. It is a second generation of the N-39 that was there
on display. It features interior upgrades and an attractive introductory
price. Call or log onto the Neville Trawler website for more
information.
Again thanks for coming to see us.

Included are "...three sailboats and a power
voyager that showcase the best in modern boatbuilding."
With that introduction begins a special
section in Ocean Navigator magazine. Among those 4 boats featured,
and the only offshore power passage maker was the first N-47 in the
Neville Trawler line, Carol Marie.
She was now lives on the Alabama coast but has
already been tested. Over 150 miles offshore she capably handled
10 foot seas.
That is a place for no compromises. It is an indication of what the
security of steel can offer. Come and see her sister, the big blue
boat, at Trawler Fest - Stuart in January.
For those with a shorter attention span pick the link to read the Ocean
Navigator article to tide you over.
