    Go to the Food And Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations (FAO) Fisheries site. Do a search for "trawl board" or "otter board" design. I know there is a report out there on design because I used it several years ago.

    FWIW, trawling is very hard on the environment and fisheries. It can tear up the bottom and by-catch is high. And don't forget the TED's.
