Structural Makeup of the Vessel

The Wendy Dawn is a Fiberglass Hull Gillnetter built by Palmer Boats LTD. in the mid 70's.  It's a Fiberglass Hull with a Steel Keel and open style Prop Shaft.

2014 Improvements


In 2014 Independent Shipwrights LTD. installed Rolling Chocks and a 10" Hydraulic Bow Thruster to the hull.

This vastly improved the stability and maneuverability of the vessel while fishing and traveling.

Back Deck

The Back Deck has an open area in the stern where the Gillnet Drum used to be.  The Drum is available if needed.  The Insulated Fish Hold is approx. 10' x 10' x 5' high.  It's presently used partly for storage of spares, fishing gear, an upright portable freezer, and a sectioned off area for placement of live Sea Urchins in bags while fishing.
