    I was visiting a marina here in St Augustine the other day where a friend keeps one of his boats. What should i find as I walked down the dock but a Prigram40.

    Brought back a lot of pleasant memories of my love affair with this design, and my efforts to redesign it for a bit more modern production. Alas I am know a land based mortal

    Hello Brian! Glad you have pleasant memories with wonderful design. I am still enjoying this exeptional vessel. I just had it imported in Canada by a commercial captain. He was really impressed. He has a sailboat charter company VSF (Voile Sans Frontière). He enjoyed skipping the Pilgrim 40 experience.

    If it was DREAM BOAT ANNIE, I just saw her listed for sale around $144,000 in St Augustine

    Nice group of photos Mountie. Wish I could have talked my Thai wife into the water lifestyle.

    There is still a strong market, there's 2 or 3 companies still actively building this style of boat. Ranger, Nordic and American come to immediate mind. Stick the word TUG after each.

    For some reason I never realized there was a separate 'trawler division ' section on this forum.. This morning I did find these discussions of mine here. I'm going to have to read back thru a number of the others I may have missed in the past.

    One design that caught my attention immediately was this one,..

    Makes me wonder if this underwater hull shape could be adapted to the Pilgrim vessel ?
    (I had already suggested a new hard chine shape in my steel version)
