Hi Tom,
I posted on “looking for a new boat” some days back: Am (probably) looking for a Dickerson 32 or 35, preferably strip planked. If and when you get ready to move up from your Cygnet to a 41 – and to sell your 35, would you please send me word? Thanks!

Hello 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
HansThank you Bob S. for your invitation. I will gladly post when I am planning to come down to Deltaville the next time.
But aside of that not all news are happy news! I loved that 1964 Dickerson 35 in Canada, but the very day I wanted to call she had been sold for a measly 12,000 Canadian$!!! (By the way, you may want to take her off your list of boats for sale)After three years being advertised! Then I was very interested in the one Mike Aitken mentions, as I’ve built boats before and love wood working and fibreglassing. (Thank you very much Mike for mentioning her) But when I called Erin in Chatham, I found her to be totally out of it, wouldn’t give me any satisfactory answer to any of my questions including the one whether she had ever sailed the boat and she told me she’d never sell the boat to me and hung up on me…And then there was a couple of days later the one on Craig’s list in Palm Beach for $4,000, sounded more fantastic even with a brand new engine, supposedly in even better shape (I wondered if it might have been my Talisman) but again the next day she was gone as well. I’d love to see Bob’s 36. My ideal size would probably be a 32 (although I’ve never seen one) but a 35 (6) up to around $ 30,000 would of course be fantastic!By the way, Barry, I’d signed up for the postings as “Hust” (no “r”) but my name is Hansueli (Hans for short) Steiner
Thanks Barry for your welcome
I’m truly happy to know that “my” Talisman had such an honorable past – I wish I knew what happened to her after leaving Miami! I’m afraid I’m not that familiar with your web page and -links. E.g. I don’t see if I did fill out a proper request for admission to this owners society, and I don’t know how to pay any dues. And lastly you mention that info on the Rendezvous in Oxford is “on this site” and can’t find that link. I’m grateful for your help!
