There is something about a Diesel Duck trawler that will make you stop and stare as they cruise on by. They are a powerful, unique breed of trawler with their steel-hull, sturdy appearance, and as a bonus – they are designed as a sail-assisted Passagemaker that will leave you intrigued as to what else they can offer.
