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 high-quality foray into the sailing market. Introduced in the mid-1960s and produced through the 1970s, the Squall is a 9-foot 2-inch dinghy that embodies the same Unibond™ foam-filled construction as its legendary larger siblings, such as the 13-foot sport boat. Designed primarily as a multi-purpose 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.
