Atalaya is a 22 ft 2 in LOD, 27 ft LOA, 3.5 ft depth, full keel cutter, custom built in 1990 by Bill Stevens. She is a Glen-L Amigo design with deck and interior custom built following the design of Lynn and Larry Pardey’s first boat Seraffyn. Her original name was Jacana. We renamed her Atalaya after Atalaya Castle on Huntington Island State Park campground in South Carolina where we camped for years. She is strip-plank built with Alaskan Yellow Cedar, white oak frames and honduras mahogany deck house and interior. In 2002 we had a triad trailer built for her and took her out of the water in Beaufort, South Carolina and put her in our backyard in Athens Georgia due to a rotted deck and bulwark and for a rebuild and built a bow roof shed over her. Also added a cubic mini wood stove, natures head composting toilet, flex solar panels and lithium batteries. Lea and I built an eastport nesting pram and an origamy folding dinghy as tenders. We sold our historic house on 781 Boulevard in Athens, Georgia and transported our sailboat back to Beaufort, South Carolina in July, 2018 and have been living aboard ever since. Im 76 and originally from Ewing, New Jersey and Lea is 66 and from Ghent, Belgium. We have sailed the East coast from the Chesepeake to the Florida Keys. Currently on the hard in Elberton, Georgia. Planning to put our boat back in the water in the spring of 2025 in Penobscot Bay and explore coastal Maine.

Thanks for sharing. She’s beautiful!
Nice Devlin dory and color scheme. Hope you still are enjoying your dory in the Northwest. We decided to explore coastal Maine this spring rather than the Northwest. A big difference in trailering distance, 1400 miles rather than almost 4000 miles. Butch and Lea
