Sorry about the quality and presentation. They are scanned and cropped copies of 30 year old magazine pages. We will work on improving them. Thanks to Alan Brothers (Acamar), Simon Graves (Supernova), Cap't Dan Levinson (Someday Arrived), and Rob Paige/Charlie Nogle (Kiwi) we have this.

This article prompted 2 letters from readers that were printed in the September issue, and a Rob Paige reply. One letter was from Charlie Nogle, the guy took this boat to the South Pacific - San Francisco - Hawaii - the Marquesas - Tahiti - Huahine - Raiatea - Bora Bora - Hawaii - San Francisco (We are looking for Charlie!!). Charlie also wrote a lengthy letter that appeared in the January, 1978 issue. The 2nd reader letter was from Harold Rogers (Lady Doris, Pacific Dolphin # 274) and is shown after Charlie's 2 letters.

The first letter from Charlis had immediately beneath it a strategically ad placed by the Sailboat Place for still another Dolphin that had sailed to Hawaii!

Chalie's 2nd letter appeared in the January, 1978 issue and deals with some of the specific technical aspects of his incredible voyage.

The following is the letter from Harold Rogers (Lady Doris) and Rob Paige's reply
