August 1, 2012. Sugar Bear moves fast. We heard from Jerry Krubach on May 10, 2011, checking in for his brother Jason, as her new owner. Since then, she has been sold twice! Jim Gregory bought her solely to get her 9.9hp outboard to put on his larger Cape Dory, then advertised her For Free on July 12, 2012. Caroline Johnson is her new owner and we are standing by for Caroline to check in.

Here is Jim's ad.

*****************************

Here is our record. On May 10, 2011 Jerry Kruback has advised that his brother, Jason, has bought Purnell Delly's Sugar Bear. For now the boat will be kept in Virginia Beach. We standing by for more information.

November 6, 2011. While we have not yet heard from Jerry or Jason we have the following file pictures of her interior from when Sugar Bear was for sale.

The nameplate
Very clean look
Just in case you missed - our lamp!

April 20, 2011. Sugar Bear has been relisted For Sale on Craigslist. On February 12, 2011 DFI David Blakey brought this boat to our attention - she is a newly found Dolphin, our 173rd. Hopefully, Purnell Delly will check in soon. Here is the link to the updated ad and the text of the new ad. The old ad text is below

Text and pictures from previous ad

This is a genuine 24’ cruising sailboat that I have sailed up the Chesapeake to Washington DC for a year, then sailed back to Norfolk/Virginia Beach. It is outfitted for comfortable two and three night trips. Last summer I anchored in Smithfield for the night, opposite Norfolk Waterside twice, have taken her up the Dismal Swamp Canal from Elizabeth City, and spent overnight anchorages in the lower Chesapeake and Potomac River. She is specifically rigged for ease of sailing by one or two people -- she has a $1000 Harken roller-furler, unusual for a boat of her size, so changes of sail from larger to smaller as the wind picks up don't have to be made -- all you need to do is roll up the sail. She has a new $600 Raytheon auto-helm that will steer the boat by the magnetic compass while you relax or trim the sails. Most importantly, I replaced the Evinrude with a new $2000 9.9 Honda outboard specifically made with a longer shaft to drive sailboats. This engine has 50 hours on it, from my use last summer. She has a head (toilet) for the ladies that works perfectly. I will take you on a test sail and provide receipts for what I've done to her. This is a perfect cruising sailboat for two or three nights out on the Bay in the summer. With her board up, she draws only 3'. She has new and comfortable blue vinyl cushions, inside and out, for sleeping. Finally, this is a "coffee table" design by the famed marine architects Sparkman and Stephens -- a Yankee Dolphin 24. I wish I could find a way to keep her. One of the photos below shows the boat underway but no one in the cockpit; that's because if you look closely, there is a gray "arm" attached to the tiller, which is the Raytheon auto-helm, steering the boat while I am up at the bow taking the picture. Another picture shows us on the Pasquotank River coming up from Elizabeth City NC and heading into the Dismal Swamp Canal...

This boat is priced to sell. I will take you on a test sail and provide receipts for what I've done to her
