1986 CHB Senator

This 1986 CHB Senator 35 is a full-keel trawler built by Chung Hwa Boat Works in Taiwan. Powered by a single 130 hp Perkins diesel, she cruises at 8 knots and reaches 9 knots at maximum speed, delivering economical long-range performance typical of the classic trawler design. The fiberglass hull and protected running gear are built for coastal cruising and shallow-water exploration.

The interior layout centers on a bright, airy salon with generous headroom that opens to a well-positioned galley. Two staterooms—one forward and one aft—provide private sleeping quarters, each with access to one of two heads. The design balances comfort with practicality for extended time aboard.

Deck features include wide side decks with secure railings, an electric windlass for ground tackle handling, and a flybridge offering visibility underway and seating at anchor. The 12-foot beam and 35-foot length support a substantial fuel capacity that extends her cruising range, while the single-engine setup simplifies maintenance and operation.
