Phillipp Bachmann's Veninde - Shaw 24, Hull #3, Newport, Rhode Island? (Updated June 18, 2022 - with photos)

July 26, 2020. Phillip Bachmann checking in as the new owner of Veninde.

Hi Ron,

Hope this finds you well, especially in these tumultuous times. I'm the proud new owner of the Shaw 24, Veninde. I bought her a few weeks ago. I'm planning to go sailing asap and tackle some work on engine, deck and interior this winter.

Your website and the forum seems to be an amazing resources to talk through some of these projects. Please can you let me know, how I can become member? Many thanks (Webmaster Note: Done - its automatic!!)

stay safe

Philipp

Postscript July 27 (minor edit)

I'll keep Veninde in Newport RI, depending on availability/fees of moorings. For this season I'm all set and for next season I have to see. It's going to be either Newport or Middletown RI

As for winter projects my main focus is to replace the engine. In fact I already took the old engine out. It's a Coventry Victor gasoline engine, 7hp. I believe it's the original engine. My plan is to replace it with an electric motor. If anyone in the Shaw/Dolphin community has experience with retrofit to electric or is interested in buying a Coventry Victor midget engine,
please contact me.

Looking forward to the forum being up and running again. All the best

Webmaster Note - Check out this note from our Technical Section - electric motors!!

June 18, 2022 - We received the following update from Philipp

The latest on Veninde,

I re-caulked the bottom last year and steamed in a few new oak frames this winter winter. The original frames were laminated and some of the glue starts to go. I’ll probably replace more frames next winter.

I haven’t re-powered her yet, I’m still sailing the boat without auxiliary power which works just fine. For a moment I was looking into all electric solutions but couldn’t get my self to pull the trigger.

I keep the boat on a mooring in Newport Harbor. Therefore most of my sailing is in Narragansett Bay.
I’m thinking about entering the Newport Classic Regatta, in case something comes out of it worth bragging about I’ll let you know.

That’s that from Veninde, Fair winds

Philipp

November 7, 2012. On a routine follow up we noticed that Veninde had been sold. Hopefully, the new owner will check in. AND, SHE DID!! Here is her email today

Hello Ron,

It’s me, the owner of Marc Chramiec’s Dolphin, Windsong (renamed Belladonna) from 1981 – 88.  I bought Veninde from Joe Tornello & brought her down to Newport.  She spent a few weeks in a slip at the Newport Yacht Club before we pulled her out before Hurricane Sandy.  She’s snug in her winter storage & we’ll launch her as early as possible in spring.  This may be her first time in salt water.

She’s in extraordinary shape. Joe truly loved her.  I hope to keep her to his standards.

Nancy Harley

We first found out about Veninde when Dyke Williams (Trina, Shaw 24 hull #1) saw this boat in a YachtWorld ad and told us about it. Dyke thinks she was hull #3. She belonged to Joe Tornello who checked in with us in January, 2009. She looks like a beauty. Here's the ad (edited)
