Haines Traveller

Considering A New Fibreglass Trailerboat? Fishing Boat, Family Boat Or Ski Boat?

The Haines family has been building boats for over 50 years. In that time, they have perfected the craft with many engineering refinements and innovations, and have more than proved the strength, durability and long-lasting qualities of fibreglass boats. The Traveller brand was launched in 2000 and is about to enter it's 10th Anniversary year.

Traveller is 'Haines Quality Boating'. The Haines Group maintain the same Haines quality of manufacture as in the rest of their factory to bring you a 'quality' boating experience and a 'quality' lifestyle for your family and friends.

The beauty of the Traveller series is that it's made of tough fibreglass which, unlike alloy, is non-corrosive and actually toughens with age. Furthermore, the fact that a fibreglass boat's hull is cast in one piece makes it stronger than hulls comprised of sections welded together. And if you haven't already guessed, a fibreglass boat is far less noisy than a banging metal hull.Fibreglass flexes too, so it acts like a subtle shock absorber for a much smoother ride. It is not necessarily true that the 'tinny' is lighter than its counterpart either, because the compound used in building Traveller is not only tough, it's also light. So all round, it's a great story.In crafting a Traveller hull we use a superior grade of fibreglass, double bias matting. It has a finer, tighter, and therefore much stronger weave. It uses less resin, is therefore less brittle, and is also lighter.

The highly-polished, seductive gelcoat finish is also the best available today. It is almost 100% impervious to UV ray damage with negligible decomposition in colour or resin texture. (There are boats we built 30 years ago that are still in pristine condition.)

The TF200 is sure to appeal to even the fussiest fisho. Having everything in exactly the right place with the seemingly endless storage compartments and roomy side boxes you can just arrive at that secret spot and start fishing with a minimum of fuss. Not only that but you will get there with a smooth and fuel efficient ride so both your back and wallet are not feeling the pain.

The first TF200 has returned from its maiden voyage fishing in Lucinda and has already handled some very ‘ordinary’ conditions to prove it’s pedigree as a blue water fisher.

You could argue that in turbulent economic times the trend is for consumers to look at the cheaper option for their major purchases. The trade off between ‘price’ and ‘quality’ is often measured by the consumer but ‘quality’ is usually the winner. In the trailer boat industry Signature boats has continued to out sell the competition despite having a higher price point. Signature continues to focus on a no-compromise attitude to the quality of it’s boats. They like to say they build up to a standard rather than down to a price. Why is this approach successful? It is because most of the boat buying public understand that you do get what you pay for. When reviewing the 2011 range of boats the Haines family decided to give customers more. Not content with already using the best quality materials, the Signature factory is now adding more of the options as standard*:
