Description

Storm Petrel was inspired by a customer who admired an Alvin Beal 26 foot lobster boat from the 1950s as rebuilt and reconfigured by Doug Hylan back in 2002. Sam knew the boat well and we currently have that very boat here in Olympia. The customer wanted a longer version with more of an interior including an enclosed steering station, a small head compartment and compact galley and a wood stove plus a v-berth.  And of course it needed to be a stich and glue build. Sam designed the Storm Petrel for Cyndie who had been brought up in the boating world of Seattle. Today Cyndie’s son carries on a family tradition as the owner of Storm Petrel.
