Gillnetter built for work and comfort; Seattle yard getting back to fish boats

摘要

In early August, Tom Love was completing sea trials on his new aluminum gillnetter and looking forward to two or three weeks of fishing for silvers in Alaska's Prince William Sound and then possibly fishing Cordova in the fall.The building of Liberty Rising combined the efforts of two boatshops. The gillnetter was built at Delbert Henry's Hylite Fabrication in Palmer, Alaska, but carries the name Peregrine Boats, a shop in Peters Creek, on its side. That's because Peregrine Boats' Jeff Johnson designed the hull and supervised the building of Liberty Rising.
