Neville Trawlers Neville 40

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  THIS IS THE ONLY ONE.

The Original Neville 39 as featured in Voyaging Under Power A lot of things flowed from this design. It was originally drawn for a Texas physician. When Jim Leishman approached me for a couple of designs to include in the book Voyaging Under Power, his rewrite of Robert Beebe's classic book, this was one of two he chose to include. It was not until several years later that the boat actually came into being. A professor from Duke University commissioned the completed design, and the boat was built by Custom Steel Boats in Merritt, North Carolina. Not long after, the appeal of this design 

prompted the design of the Neville 47 and later the Neville 56. If it looks familiar, you may have seen it at a boat show or at Trawler Fest.

THE OWNER OF THIS BOAT TOOK THE PERFECT TRAWLER AND MADE IT EVEN BETTER WITH HIS $75000 WORTH OF UPGRADES THIS SEASON.

GO THE DISTANCE WITH 700 GALLONS OF FUEL AT AN ECONOMICAL 4 MPG.

YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER TRAWLER LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN.  THIS IS THE ONLY ONE EVER MADE AND IT IS A VERY SPECIAL BOAT.  ENJOY

Our Beverlee Jane class 39 is stoutly built, but with her plate keel and easily formed sections is suitable for either professional or amateur construction. As originally designed she has a steel hull with a steel house. The alternative of an easily worked aluminum deckhouse, however, is an attractive option if you prefer. The lighter deckhouse only improves the boats performance offshore. 

This is a comfortable 2-person boat but with room for grand kids or another couple for a short stay. What's particularly remarkable about this design, and what makes it a serious cruiser is her walk-in engine room. That's right, a 39-foot boat with a walk-in engine room. There is room for a work table, or additional storage. You really feel like you are on a little ship. The pilot house gives that same feeling. 

The drawings for this boat were done for professional construction. That means they were developed to offer all of the details a commercial boat yard needs to bid and successfully complete the project. I believe you will find the plans more than adequate whether you are building yourself or with an experienced builder. If you do have questions or problems, of course... we are always available to help.
