A Rosborough tug sporting its beard of ropes in Elbow Cay Abacos, Bahamas.
This 34-foot True North Down East trawler was trucked by a professional company from Fort Pierce, FL, to Portsmouth, RI, on Interstate 95 in three days. This trip would have taken at least two weeks by water.
If you are more comfortable having the boat trailered by a boat transport company using its trailer, or do not want the expense of a trailer and diesel truck, you can always schedule the transport and meet your boat almost anywhere. Check out all the big boat details included on these smaller trawlers. Size does matter, and sometimes good things come in small packages. Trawlering offers the cruiser many options, and the trailerable trawler just expanded your cruising possibilities.

These three Ranger Tugs were on display in the water at the Gulf Coast Yacht and Boat Show in Mississippi in April. The red hull in this photo is the smallest of their fleet. It has an inboard diesel engine and offers pilot house comfort with a large aft deck entertainment space.
Youth Sailing Programs and Yacht Club Directory
AVAILABLE ONLINE — Search for or Update Your Program and Club
Going live on April 1 (this is no April Fools joke!), this new FREE online directory by SOUTHWINDS lists Youth Sailing Programs and Yacht Clubs and Sailing Associations in the Southeast U.S. Previously printed in the April issue, we found that most youth programs hadn’t made final decisions on their summer programs by the March 1 deadline, so we decided to create an online directory where program organizers can update their programs, whether summer programs or year-around programs, any day of the year on their own. Every program
gets its own page with room for photos, schedules, general information, youth ages accepted, rates, contact info, links to Facebook and more. For those looking for programs, you can search by name, location or miles from a zip code. The 2012 programs are listed, and program organizers can register an ac-
count, claim their listing and update it. Or new programs can be added. We also added a yacht club directory, listing all the clubs that were on the main SOUTHWINDS site. Clubs can claim these listings and also get their own page to add photos, general information, contact info, links to Facebook and more.
To update your youth program or club, go to www.southwindsmagazine.info, or you can access it through the SOUTHWINDS main site at www.southwindsmagazine.com. News & Views for Southern Sailors
