A Message from the Manufacturer

The following is a communication from Joe at the Legacy yard in Florida.

Since her introduction almost a quarter of a century ago, our Legacy trawlers have won the admiration of the cruising community and professional mariners whose suggestions have contributed to her continued evolution. Today, the 2009 model Legacy trawlers represent the most recent refinements to our proven classic voyager. We constructed new hull and deck molds to incorporate features our owners were asking for. Some of these features include a larger forward stateroom with the opportunity to have a separate head and shower. Her raised sheer line has been brought further aft for an even dryer deck in heavy weather and at the same time increased the interior volume. The most significant change we made for the new model year is that Legacy trawlers are not only available with our economical full displacement hull, but for the first time they are also offered with our new semi-displacement hull form for owners that require a higher performance vessel. The high efficiency of the full displacement hull form continues with the addition of additional hull refinements and an increased aperture to permit a larger propeller. The Yanmar 54HP diesel is standard as are stabilizing bilge keels. The new semi-displacement hull adds approximately 2 feet to her hull and also has an integrated swim platform. She is available with diesel propulsion from 100 to 350HP. Both hull designs share the same deck components and all of our models are available in either full or semi-displacement configurations. Another feature that we have incorporated in our new hull and deck molds is the flexibility of owners to choose the traditional Teak wood exterior trim appointments or the total absence of exterior wood for reduced maintenance.
I have attached information describing our new fleet of Legacy Trawlers. Because of file sizes, we have transmitted this information through separate emails. We currently have three Legacy Trawlers under construction at our Largo, Florida facility. A model 323 is nearing completion and utilizes a unique Diesel-Electric propulsion system. She promises to be very green, very economical to operate and very quiet. We also have two semi-displacement models under construction; a model 321 and 326. We will share photos of these new models with you as they progress. We also build a line of planing recreational and sport fishing boats powerboats in sizes from 13' to 37'.
