Todd sent in the following pictures and short history. Cove Dweller seems to have it all - including a pretty nice berth too, I'd say.
I am attaching some photos of Cove Dweller for your roster. The layout of the cabin is somewhat different from other Dolphins I have seen in photos. There is an icebox, sink and small bench seat to the port and a single berth to the starboard. No table and no stove (except a Primus on a gimbal). I cannot find evidence within the interior that the arrangement was ever otherwise. I did find two small plaques suggesting that she won first place in the 1980 Twin Light Association race and participated in the 1979 race.
I purchased #111 two years ago from a gentleman in Virgina who had transported her from California some years earlier. Since then I have painted the interior, put down a new cabin sole, replaced all the wiring and plumbing (w/ pressure water) and purchased new cushions and sails. Next will be replacing the portlights. We are enjoying short cruises around the Chesapeake to familiarize ourselves with the boat and look forward to some serious pirate adventures in the near future.
With warm regards,
Todd Phillips
Dolphins have a way of glowing in the fog or twilight - the following is a great example:
These interior pictures are striking...
