39' Mainship 390 Trawler Trawlers

MANUFACTURER DESCRIPTION

The Mainship 390 Trawler blends today's technology with years of experience in crafting thousands of trawlers. Inside the spacious cabin, for example, is a lower helm station that's complete with full instrumentation and a windshield equipped with wipers and washers. The salon features warm teak highlighted by designer fabrics and opening windows with screens. Deck access is made easy for shorthanded cruising with a starboard helm sliding door. There is also a large screened sliding door to the cockpit. The 390 Trawler's galley is equipped for cruising or entertaining with a range, an oven, a microwave, a full-size refrigerator, an oversize sink, abundant cabinets, and Corian countertops. The large master stateroom has a center island bed, cedar-lined hanging lockers, an opening portlight and hatch, and again more storage. For guests, a second stateroom features twin berths along with a hanging locker, storage, an opening hatch and a portlight. And finally, the easy cleaning, molded fiberglass head offers a built-in vanity, a shower, an electric marine toilet, an opening hatch, a portlight, and a mirror. The power to travel is provided by a 330hp single Cummins diesel with freshwater cooling, an engine alarm system and a standard fire extinguisher system. To make docking easier, a bow thruster is standard on single engine boats. On the flybridge there is a large area for entertaining or lounging, seating for more than six, and a drop-leaf table. The center helm has great visibility, full instrumentation, and plenty of room for electronics (note the radar mast). This deck is reached by a wide, molded stairway with a full handrail. Access forward to the anchor is protected by a high bulwark and a walk-around deck. In the cockpit there is more than ample storage with deep wells and a lazarette.

Written by Captain Ken Kreisler: I know that boats are built from the bottom up, but my enjoyment of the Mainship 390 started at the top. Her large flying bridge offered all the necessary amenities, including seating for six, a table with two fold-down leaves, stowage well, venturi windshield, and radar mast.

Her centerline helm afforded me excellent visibility while underway, backing down, or just swinging on the hook at a beautiful sunset anchorage. It's well thought out, with all gauges, switches, controls, and electronics strategically placed so that I only needed to glance to either side of the wheel to get all the engine and navigation information I needed. The console is hinged and releases easily for complete access to all wiring and electronic instruments. Best of all, I felt secure up here due to the aluminum safety rails that surround the flying bridge. I even felt safe climbing up here, thanks to the molded-in stairway that replaced the usual bridge ladder. In addition, recessed lighting in the stairway allows for safer evening transiting.

The well-thought-out design of the Mainship 390 continues on the main deck. There are stowage compartments in the cockpit sole, lazarette, and transom. Access forward is via port and starboard walkways with high bulwarks for added security. I appreciated this when I made my way to the rope and chain locker during a sudden and unexpected thunderstorm. With one hand on the sturdy bowrail and my feet planted on the nonskid in the deep well of the bow area, I felt safe enough to clear the anchor line feed as it came in. There's also an optional anchor washdown located here, which I found came in handy when the anchor showed up loaded with mud.

Inside, the 390 makes just as much sense. Comfortable accommodations include a forward mas- ter stateroom that boasts a center island berth, cedarlined lockers, and plenty of stowage areas, including a large drawer located centrally under the berth. Just aft and to port there's a second stateroom with two single berths, hanging locker, and drawer and cabinet stowage. The easy-to-clean, molded-fiberglass head is opposite the guest quarters and has a built-in vanity, electric toilet and shower with stall. All these rooms have an average of 6'6'' of headroom, plus hatches, carpeting, ports, and recessed overhead halogen lighting.

The efficient port-side galley is part of the saloon and forward of the entertainment center. It features a full-size refrigerator/freezer, Corian® counters, sink, range, oven, microwave, under-counter and overhead cabinets.

Forward is the fully instrumented lower station, where you can find a sliding side door to access the starboard walkway. This station also affords good visibility thanks to large windows ahead and to starboard. There was even a sufficiently clear line of sight through the cockpit's sliding glass door aft to allow me to back the 390 into her slip.

Three hatches in the sole lift up to reveal the engine compartment. I found plenty of room all around our single diesel to do maintenance and estimated that even with twin engines, access to critical components like belts, oil and transmission dipsticks, and wiring should be good.

I was very comfortable during my four days aboard the Mainship 390 Trawler. She offers a special combination of spacious accommodations, large flying bridge, safe and accessible deck areas, and thrifty, dependable power. If that sounds like your kind of boating, the 390 will make a lot of sense to you also.
