Dolphin 14-ft

[Pirate at Heart]

I bought it off Craigslist just yesterday. A 14-ft Dolphin Sailboat, but what kind of Dolphin is it? A Jr.? A Sr.? Just a plain old Dolphin, or maybe something else? Too much Dolphin info on the Net, but nothing really specific to get detailed info on the boat. I really don't need parts, but info on proper rigging. Maybe an "owner's manual" if one ever existed. Any advice or help about this particular Dolphin would be appreciated. Thanks!

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Pirate.

I belive that the Dolphin Senior has a Length O/All of 14' 6"; while the Dolphin Junior has a Length O/All of 13' 4".

Thanks, GordMay. I guess I will just have to get out my tape measure and see if I bought an extra 6-inches of boat since 14-ft seems to be the footage that does not exist!

The dolphin senior was a sunfish look alike. There was a dolphin 17 that was sloop rigged. For any more info, contact Ronald at 936-760-5303. He is owner of Dolphin sailboats and should be able to help you.

I learned to sail on a Dolphin Senior 3 decades ago in the Laguna Madre. Sweet handling little boat.

I agree and the 6 pack cooler is a nice touch.

As you are cruising the gulf, we may see you. We sail out of Galveston Bay and are planning a cruise east this fall. If you see a black hulled Shannon 38, give a holler.

I remember the little cooler fondly.
