I’m looking for some history on my bcc. The hull was amde by Sam
Morse in 1976 (hull no 14). Dilckra was finished in 1980 I think by
an Austrailian named Lex White. She was then sold to two men named
Jack Comerford and Ray Walton. They sold it to the man I bought it
from, Paul Edmonds, a retired merchant seaman. Dilkara spent many
years in the Carribean and about seven years on the hard in a small
do-it-yourself marina on the St. John River in Greren Cove Springs
Flordia. I bought her in 1996 and have been restoring her (and
sailing her) since then. Paul Edmonds was 82 and not doing well and
remembered very little about her history. He has since died. She is
gaff riged with dead eyes and lanyards and a lot of other good old
stuff. She is now on a cradle in Nortuhport, Michigan, where I live.
My main interest would be to contact Lex White the builder, but I
would love any information you may have about her.

If you look on the website under layouts
youll see the layout of Dilkara as was sent to us when we were looking
to buy a boat back in 1991. I can look for the original ad we clipped, if
you want, although it will take a while to find. Arrows on the layout are
courtesy of Jeremy, who was looking at the bulkhead placement, and I think we
cribbed the idea of a double bunk forward from Dilkaras (very usable for
2) layout. Doesnt help much in terms of history, Im afraid.
