August 9, 2017. Stu and Cathy Polhamus left their Dolphin 24, (Equinox, Yankee # 237) back in Virginia, but brought their cameras to the Camden Classic Cup/NE Dolphin 24 Championships. Here are 'some' of the pictures they took - usually you can click on the photos to get a larger image. We added a couple to round out the gallery. An attempt has been made to organize the boats alphabetically....

August 10, 2017. Seems like Stu and Cathy are going to have to share this page. Pictures are flooding in over the internet - your webmaster can hardly keep up. We'll start here. Cliff Dasco/Maya Elena forwards a picture of Maya Elena and crew taken by the Camden Herald
Ron:
It was good to see you at the Pod reunion. Although Bill Benjamin and I did not distinguish ourselves by our ability to find wind, we
did make the Camden Herald!
