STURDY TRAWLER SAN MATEO San Mateo

San Mateo is a very
sturdy 41’ wooden
trawler built by Ed
Wall in 1956, one of
many which have
worked the west
coast fisheries.

She was purchased
by Bent and Eric
Jespersen as a
multiple family boat,
a cruising base for
dinghy sailing and
kayaking.
FAMILY BOAT
BELOW She has also filled
a void left by
selling respectively;
Limfjord, an H28
built by Bent and
Myrrh a custom 30
designed and built
by Eric.
The recent drastic
reduction of the
west coast fishing
fleet made many
boats available
for purchase.
CABIN
GALLEY
The majority could be
said to be tired but the
occasional sound boat
has proven an ideal
starting point for a new
life as a workboat style
yacht. The cleanup and conversion of San Mateo
has taken much out of a
year of Bent’s retirement.
The result is a very
capable and comfortable
boat with ample
accommodation and
minimal intrusion on the
original appearance.
With San Mateo now
serving her new
purpose, Bent and Eric
are searching for a
suitable six metre with
some pedigree to
restore and race.
