Dale Uhlman has been a valuable part of the Petzold’s Team for over 32 years. Dale acquired many of his talents while working for several boat builders, one of which was Albin yachts in Cos Cob, CT. Dale can fix, repair or build almost anything ranging from fiberglass to woodwork. His talents also include the repair and installation of complex electronic systems, thrusters, automatic shades and dinghy lifts. Although Dale’s talents are reflected in the day to day operations at Petzold’s, it would be remiss not to mention that a majority of our facility upgrades have been done by Dale. Someone complimented Dale on a job that he completed and asked him, “Dale, is there anything that you can’t do?” True to fashion, taking into account Dale’s modesty, he replied “Well, I can’t weld” and continued on with his day. We are very fortunate to have such a talented individual.

Congratulations on 35 years of service Jack!
