We have known about Karana for over a year as Todd had posted stuff about her we found on the Sailnet Dolphin 24 Forum. We'll keep trying to get Todd to check in. Meanwhile, this is what we have from that Forum.

Stay tuned.

Howdy all!

Yes- there is another Dolphin in the midst. Actually, she's old but ready for refit and restoration. This is my third restoration project mainly because I am a pauper sailor and this is the only way I have of getting and sailing a boat.

I have come into possession of hull #205 and to be honest, I'm none too sure of this Yankee Dolphin's birthday.

I have been lurking and reading the posts here and learned a lot already. I have a back issue of GOB with the Dolphin article by Dyke and he has sent me some e-mails already.

I have years of experience on the water. Long Island Sound mostly, but lots of lake time in North and South Carolina. Been sailing since the age of 5 and am now 45....going on 12, I think. I'm not an expert by any means and can stand to learn a great deal from anyone who wants to help. But stuffy people need not apply.

The boat will be used primarily on Lake Conroe in Texas and that's good for now, for me.

Cheers

Todd
