Ed Glover's Dolphin, an early O'Day, Spruce Head, Maine  
   

The following is an email from Ed we found in Jim Huxford's old website. There was no date but it was in with some others dated in 1999....

"Dolphin" One of the first O"Day Dolphins


I bought a Dolphin 24 a couple years ago, called "Dolphin" She was built in 1960, as I understand by Marscot Plastics, a division of US Boat - according to the scant literature I have.

"Dolphin" spent most of her life in Long Island sound, then retired to Maine. She is a sweet sailing boat, on most any point of sail.

She is mostly in her original state, with all varnished teak and original gelcoat. The inboard was converted to a 10HP Vetus Diesel in 1990. I re-installed the marine head with a holding tank under the starboard settee. Some of the sails appear to be original inventory and are in remarkably good condition, but has a new main, blade and cruising spinnaker

I do not know the hull #, have not located it on the transom or stern quarter. Any advice you have to locate this would be appreciated.

Any other information, advice you might have would be of interest, thanks in advance.

Smooth Sailing,

Ed Glover
Spruce Head, ME

We have recently been in touch with Ed and look forward to pictures and an update
