Petrel comes from a longstanding dream of her owner/designer, and she is a result of Spirit of Tradition attitude done at the behest of one man’s time. The hull is a sexily-engineered wood-epoxy-over-Airex core, built by Walter Greene way back in 1983. After which the owner and designer Jay Paris slowly finished off some of the rest of the boat over the next 30 years. Quality sometimes takes that long. Petrel was finally made sea-ready with a recent reboot at Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding. The result is a fast and weatherly modern classic that works both in coastal waters and in the open sea. We especially like how the high-performance appendages and Selden carbon fiber mast are mixed with a classic cabin and oh-so-clean sheer. Home builders take heart. A lovely boat is within reach.
