October 23, 2015. We've had this brochure on the website for several years. Steve Shumaker, son of Yankee founder John Shumaker, who passed away recently, posted the following on the Forum
Hull #80, Yankee, is seen on the cover of the brochure for the second model of Yankee Dolphins. Those had a fiberglass deck/coachroof and aluminum mast, but wood coamings and hatch covers. It was our family's second Dolphin, the company owner needing to have a current model for sales and promotional purposes. The cover photo features my Dad at the helm, my mother next to him, and my aunt. The photo was taken in Marina Del Rey, but Ben Sears, an illustrator my Dad used extensively, put in a more scenic background.
