Aug 25 - Special Notice -

We received the following email from Josh Colvin at Small Craft Advisor (minor edits). Any Dolphin owners, present or past, are invited to respond directly to Josh at

smallcraftadvisor@earthlink.net

Hi Ron,

We're working on an a review article about the Dolphin 24 (we sailed a Yankee Dolphin) for the coming issue. Naturally your website has proved invaluable as we do our research. In addition to sailing every boat we review ourselves, we also like to include owner feedback. I wonder if it would be possible for you to forward this invitation to those who own (or have owned) Yankee Dolphins (or her sisterships) to participate in our review?

We have a simple survey we send out to owners that we use to gather opinions and solicit quotes that we'll use in the magazine article. Thanks for your consideration. Of course I'd like to send you a survey as well if you're interested in participating.

Best,
Josh (Joshua) Colvin
