Notes: This boat was drawn by William Shaw while he was working in the S&S office. It is the predecessor to the DOLPHIN 24. First boats were built of wood in Denmark. The first boat, 'Trina', was extremely successful as a racer. A few later hulls were turned out in fiberglass by Bob Marsh, John Wells and Chip Morse operating out of La Porte, TX. Some boats were delivered as sloops. \n(Most of this information comes from the excellent Dolphin 24 website: www.dolphin24.org)\nThanks also to Shaw 24 owner Al See for contributing information and a photo.
