Ok it may not be the best picture , but its a great seiner. Finisterre caught some serious fish. Capt Scafidi did very well. Probably my favorite design of all the seiners. Really wish someone could send some of this seiner or others like them, Finisterre was built in 1972 by Martinac. Share your pictures with us please at sdtunaboats@cox.net

Yap Seagull, Or better known as the Proud Heritage. Most memories for me of any seiner. Loved this seiner many trips to San Pedro with the greatest man i ever knew my father.

Later on he would leave for San Pedro at 9am just to make it easier . Send in your pictures with your memories to sdtunaboats@cox.net
