Stan is a marine architect and followed closely the building of his boat by Palmer Scott at Marscot Plastics. He made weekly trips to Fall River, MA to make progress payments and finally picked up his boat in late May, 1960. In addition to being a great source of information about Dolphins he has been a valuable source of much needed technical advice over the years, not only to your webmaster but many others in our sailing area.

Here is Jato perfectly trimmed with her 140% genoa that Stan loved. In a building breeze he liked to progessively reef, then double reef, then drop the main entirely, sailing on the 140 alone. He kept Jato for about 20 years before moving on to a Tarten 34 in the early 1980s.

Jato was sold to Alex Leventhal who renamed her Aye Jay. Grandson Rick Bernstingle reports Aye Jay was sold and her whereabouts are not known - yet,
