Designed by master boatbuilder Wayne Beal of Beals Island, the 36-foot hull was developed to meet the demanding needs of commercial lobstermen working in the often harsh waters of the Gulf of Maine. Its design features a fine entry, a stable beam, and a full working deck, providing an excellent balance of speed, fuel efficiency, and load-carrying capacity. Built to withstand rough seas while offering a smooth, dry ride, the Wayne Beal 36 quickly earned a reputation as a reliable platform for hauling lobster traps and operating safely in changing weather conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince its introduction, the Wayne Beal 36 has become one of the most popular custom Downeast hulls in New England, with numerous examples finished by independent boatyards to meet the specific needs of individual owners. The design readily accommodates modern diesel engines, hydraulic trap haulers, advanced navigation systems, and customized wheelhouses, combining traditional wooden boatbuilding principles with contemporary materials and technology. While many continue to serve as hardworking commercial lobster boats, others have been converted into recreational cruisers and sportfishing vessels, valued for their seaworthiness, efficiency, and timeless appearance. Today, the Wayne Beal 36 remains a respected symbol of Maine's boatbuilding heritage, demonstrating how generations of local craftsmanship continue to produce durable, practical vessels for life on the North Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Captain Heritage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48354511847645,"sku":"CM1019","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/captainheritage.com\/fr\/products\/cm1019-wayne-beal-36-lobster-36-inches-boat-model","provider":"Captain Heritage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
