What Is The Dickerson Site?
This site is dedicated to the Dickerson Sailing Yacht. Although Dickerson Boatbuilders have been out of business for many years, the Dickerson is still sailed and respected by sailors spanning generations. I worked at Dickerson for 15 years and developed this site because the boat is too nice to be forgotten. The site will continue growing with help and information for new owners and potential buyers.

Nautical Art - While cruising around I found this scale model of a Dickerson 37. You really must see this to appreciate the detail.
Dickerson Rendezvous, 2006
It was another fine day for the Annual Dickerson Regatta with SSW winds starting at 10, or so, and building to 15-18 knots. The line was so dominantly a port start line, almost everyone did a port start, but Starry Night, Irish Mist, were early and fluttered their jibs trying hard not to hit each other, or the Committee Boat, Imagine. Hemisphere Dancer ducked their sterns, ran the line, but had to watch out for Plover approaching far away on starboard tack, and Mon Bijou Gigi on port tack directly in front. Read More....
