Jack VanZandt's Wanderlust, Yankee #150, SOLD, Olympia, Washington (updated October 21, 2018)

 
   

October 31, 2015. Nate Donnay checking in as the new owner of Yankee #150. (Update October 21, 2018 - she is now Rosamond - click here to go to her new page

Ron,

You can take my WANTED post down, I bought Jack VanZandt's hull 150 and had it towed out to Lake Elmo, MN. She will spend a year on the trailer while I work on projects, but we hope to have her in the water (Lake Pepin, MN) in 2017. Thanks again for posting my "want" ad, a few people contacted me with boats they were willing to sell but currently aren't listed anywhere.

Thanks also for running such a useful site!

Nate Donnay

Welcome Aboard, Nate!

Fair Winds, Jack!

This is the record of Yankee #150 as we know it to date.

April 14, 2008. Jack VanZandt sent us the following old pictures of Wanderlust when he checked in, and he promises more when she gets shined up. These are believed to been when she belonged to Jack Dubnoff in 1999 (see below).

Note the furling main

************************

On October 3, 2008 former owner Bryce Wills sent the following super pictures. He owned the boat from 1999 to 2007.

Wanderlust (above) is on her mooring west of Vashon Island (formerly the home of the K-2 Ski Company) which is just a short ferry ride west of Seattle. Note that the furling jib and furling main are gone; the original dodger is under a new cover

How many Dophins have you seen with an outboard in the transom well - with a cutout so you tip up the motor? Bryce advises he did not like this setup. It ruined an otherwise beautiful transom and his Yamaha 6.6hp long shaft did not clear the water when tipped up. He sailed with the motor down and in neutral.

 

 

 

 

 

***********************

Webmaster Note: Wanderlust was for sale in 1999 and sold by owner, Steve Dubnoff, who posted an ad with pictures at www.mvnereid.com/yankee The text of that ad and a couple of pictures are below. Also, there was some question about this boat's hull number (148 or 150) but former owner Bryce Wills has seen the nameplate and confirms she is # 150.

November 4, 2012. Its been a while but Wanderlust is doing well. Here is a short email from Jack VanZandt (edited)

Hi Ron,
This was a wonderful summer of sailing in the Northwest and I sadly hauled the Wanderlust out a few weeks ago just as the rains started. Love the website.

******************************************

October 29. 2015. We got the following email from Jack, and standby for the new owner to check in.

Hi Ron,

Due to a failing shoulder I had to part from the Wanderlust (hull 150) and sold it quickly to a fellow in Minnesota. About a dozen others expressed interest after the sale, several even offered substantially more that the asking price

. It was a sad day to see her go but it was getting dicey to sail with a bum shoulder. Anyhow, thanks so much for your web site...I will still check in when feeling nostalgic.

Jack VanZandt
