November 10, 2011. Back on June 18, 2011, DFI Chuck Daut told us he found 2 Dolphins at the Marlinship Park Marina in Sausalito, California, Anne Bonny and Gandalf. We have known about these boats for nearly 3 years but had no information about them. Anne Bonny was listed for sale on Jim Huxford's old Dolphin 24 website archives back in 1999, and when we found those archives, we listed Anne Bonny on our Roster, but without a page link, because we did not set up a page for her. The three email postings we extracted from the Huxford 'website archives' are below.
Yesterday, DFI Nicole Breault, on special assignment, got us the the following pictures.
It may be that some readers are not aware of Anne Bonny's reputation as a famous 18th century Irish lady pirate? Wikipedia will fill in this gap if you click here.

A pirate's lair is always guarded and Anne Bonny's was no exception. Our DFI managed to get these pictures but reports "I want you to know that I had to work under the watchful eyes of a barking guard dog for some of these shots. If you zoom into the shadows of the bridge entrance of the cabin cruiser photo, you'll see the outline of the tough guy who tried to frighten me away!" |

Jim;
I looked at "Dolphin fleet mail", "Dolphin sagas and fleet list" and "Dolphins for sale/wanted".
1960 O'Day #20, "Darwin" for sale by Josh Lyons for $4200 - I didn't check
1971 Yankee Dolphin for sale by EFERREL for $8500 - I sent him an E-mail
1970 Yankee Dolphin "Wanderlust" by SDUBNOFF, sold per elsewhere in your site.
1969 Yankee Dolphin #148 by Ron Bohannon for $9995, sold per your site.
1968 Yankee Dolphin "Anne Bonne" by FraserYachts for$13.5k, sold - I called them.
#248 by Jerry Johnson - I sent him an E-mail.
I think that's it for the boats on your site. Did I miss any?

So, thanks to Chuck and Nicole we have found Anne Bonny, our 183rd Found Dolphin! Click here to go to that page. With a bit of luck Anne Bonny's owner will check in and we will find out what she has been up to.
