Word has come thru that Bob passed last night, another era comes to an end... I feel blessed that I was hired and mentored in the Whaler way of things by this man, I wish I could have spent my whole career with him. God Speed Bob...

"We look at each challenge as an opportunity. We trudge through that and build something that’s never been done...we put our heart and soul into our product and we don’t build sinkable boats." A quote from Bob Dougherty.

Hi Draftsman-

I'm writing a book examining the history of Boston Whaler and looking for first-hand accounts of working alongside Bob Dougherty. I've spoken with a number of former colleagues, including Peter van Lancker, but I'd be thrilled to speak with you about your memories and experiences with Mr. Dougherty.

Email me and we can set up a time to chat on the phone.

Regards,
Matthew Plunkett
