Hello to all,
I’m new to Dickersons and in the midst of buying a 35’cc Ketch. I’m just wondering if anyone can give any info on this model? I am meeting a roadblock in the information department.
The boat is listed as a Dickerson 35′ ketch, center cockpit, fiberglass hull. Everything I find shows the 35’s were mostly wood boats… from the brief company history I’ve read, I’m guessing perhaps they started laying the 35’s in fiberglass in the early 70s? Or is this boat possibly a mis-represented 36?
The owner has passed and boat is being sold by a family member, so I am unsure if accurate info was communicated.
Any info welcomed.
Best,
MarkHello Mark,
I’m pretty sure I know about the boat you are speaking of, as I spoke to Erin in Chatham – only to have her hang up on me. If you are new to Dickerson, then you may not appreciate that I, a former owner, prefer the Mahogany strip planked boat or, let’s say, like it at least as much as the fiberglass version, as the wooden hull ends up glued to one indistructible “hollowed-out block of wood”, so that to me there is no danger of misrepresentation in terms of the value of the boat. Personally I don’t know when they started to build them in fiberglass if it really matters to you. If you are good at fixing-up boats, I mean some major woodwork, this one is surely a steal
