March 11, 2010. Dolphin Field Investigator (DFI) Glen Korpi, who also keeps his Yankee #146 AGAPE at Dana Point, told us of this boat. At one point last year when Glen was looking to find and buy a Dolphin 24 this boat, although not for sale, caught his eye. He also sent in some pictures.

We reached with Bob last night. He bought Serene for $2000 from the original owner in Newport Beach, CA. He has put several multiples of that number into her! she is pristine. He has had her for about 14 years. Her name when he bought her was also Serene. She does not have her name on the transom.

                              This is a real stern rail!                     part of the A frame; spreader bird guards?

In his other life Bob is a cabinet maker so has a couple of legs up on the rest of us. His A-frame mast raising system sounds pretty neat and I hope he will share more info about the design with us.

Bob also reports seeing a Dolphin 24 in Long Beach, CA with an unusual raised house. We hope to find out more about this boat soon.
