Thanks to Bruce Evans we have a new Dolphin sighting on the Columbia River near Portland, Oregon. Stay tuned for more info.
January 14, 2008
A quick note to let you know the whereabouts of hull # 271. She is moored on the Columbia River near Portland, Oregon at Columbia Crossings' Hayden Bay moorage. Unfortunately, her owner has gotten involved with another, larger boat, requiring more maintenance time, so the poor Dolphin is not getting the attention she deserves.
Have enjoyed reading your site.
Regards,
Bruce Evans

Dear Ron,
I'm in the market for a Dolphin 24 and came across your site. I live in Vermont, recently moved from Portland, Oregon. I used to own the boat you have listed on your site as
"271 ??? Portland, OR Pacific owner unknown"
We bought her at a yard on Hayden Island in about 2004, and sold her when we moved away in 2007. I can find you the name of the new owner if you're interested. The papers we had said she was built in 1976. She was in pretty bad shape when we bought her, better but not great shape when we sold her. We were told that she had previously been on a lake in Montana! I don't know what her name was before we bought her. We named her Riant. Don't know if that's been changed.
