Notes: A modernized version of the S&S 24 (#1497-C), which in turn, is a fin keel version of the earlier DOLPHIN 24, built by a number of companies in US. Besides the different keel, the main difference between this and the S&S 24, was a completely different coach roof and deck. The hulls were built by Sea Nymph and then finished by McNair. (both of New Zealand)
