Hi Joe and Arnold-

Mark Spector's "Yankee", #138 is for sale.  She's in Marina del Rey, in Los Angeles, on the same dock as my boat.  She's in generally good shape.  I can put you in touch with Mark if you send me a private message in this forum.

My father and I are looking for a Dolphin in WA, OR or CA. Interested in a structurally sound boat, but we don't mind some work (rigging, carpentry, wiring, etc). Our price point is somewhere around $5000.

Years ago we owned El Gitano, a Dolphin 24 in Eureka, CA, and we want to sail one again.   Thanks.

Subject: Toe Rail
Posted: 23 Aug 2010 at 8:25pm

I'm not far from having the deck painted....( started priming today).I have actually decided to try to put the toe rail back on.....I'm going to drill the bung holes out a bit deeper so the bungs will hold.


I found a good price on teak for it from teakworld in nashville. http://teakworldenterprises.samsbiz.com/

I spoke with Tommy there and he was a great help!

I was going to have to scarf the toerail in three pieces....which is ok......but what was the deal killer for me this year is I would have to fill all the holes from the existing toe rail, and then drill new ones as I put the new toe rail on.

I figured I could do this by using self tapping screws, and just screwing it to the fiberglass with 4200 under it....then go back one screw at a time and replace with a bolt. That way its not to bad to do the drilling, and I can just worry about flexing the new toerail into the right spot...and not have to hold it there while drilling a hole, just get it in place and screw it down.

I think this would be ok on its own as a project.....but I've got ALOT of projects going on with her at the moment....so I am gonna try to put the other one back on.
All the holes are in place and its already bent.

I'm kinda planning on painting topsides next year, and will probly pull the toerail again, and replace then.


(thats what I'm telling myself!)

I'll take some pics as I do and stick them up somewhere
Thanks for asking!

The companionway hatch on #227 has been screwed with somewhere along the way.

It will lay on the slide tracks...but does not actually attach. I want to fix this but I'm not sure what was there originally.....

would someone mind taking a picture of thiers so I can match it?

This is what I have....

I'd sure like to hear how this project is coming along! I can see the need in my not too distant future, I'm finding a little rot here and there....

Thanks,

Custom made port lights for a Yankee Dolphin

Set of six 5" x 12" venting stainless steel port lights, brand new, still in their original packing cases, manufactured by New Found Metals. They were made for #245, but the new owner wants to keep the original port lights intact. These port lights come with teak spacers and stainless screens. All hardware included, as well as lengths of butyl bedding. They are beautiful. New Found Metals website has more information including how to install. http://www.newfoundmetals.com/index.html

I have photos if you'd like to see the portlights and teak trim.

Paid $1727. Will sell for $1400 plus shipping.

Subject: Anchors
Posted: 19 Aug 2010 at 6:21pm

I'm thinking about getting a new delta anchor for my dolphin.


they claim:
                            sailboats       powerboats
LEW 0057404      9 LBS      20 to 24 feet      18 to 22 feet
LEW 0057406      14 LBS      26 to 31 feet      24 to 30 feet
LEW 0057410      22 LBS      34 to 41 feet      32 to 39 feet
LEW 0057416      35 LBS      44 to 52 feet      42 to 50 feet
LEW 0057420      44 LBS      49 to 58 feet      47 to 56 feet
LEW 0057425      55 LBS      54 to 64 feet      52 to 62 feet


I would at least get the 14 lb.....but wonder if
I should go with the 22 lb instead?

any thoughts?]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:21:02 +0000 http://www.dolphin24.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=120&PID=348#348 http://www.dolphin24.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56&PID=347#347 Author: dolphin24

I realize that this is not a timely reply to the thread. However, I thoughts perhaps someone will look at it down the road, so I'd throw my two cents in...

I just redid the non skid with a product called Kiwi Grip. It is super easy to use and I've always had very, very good results with it (This was the third time I've done it...all different boats). One can control how aggressive the non skid will be, it is super easy to apply (roller) and clean up (water).]]> Sat, 31 Jul 2010 21:50:15 +0000 http://www.dolphin24.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56&PID=346#346
