The Boston Whaler Squall represents a fascinating chapter in the history of the "unsinkable" brand, serving as the diminutive entry point into their brief but highquality foray into the sailing market. Introduced in the mid1960s and produced through the 1970s, the Squall is a 9foot 2inch dinghy that embodies the same Unibond™ foamfilled construction as its legendary larger siblings, such as the 13foot sport boat. Designed primarily as a multipurpose yacht tender, it was offered in both a standard rowing/motoring configuration and a dedicated sailing version. Unlike many lightweight fiberglass dinghies of the era, the Squall was built to be a rugged, "lifetime" boat, capable of being dragged onto rocky beaches or serving as a robust trainer for young sailors.
