Lot Essay

"Dolphin", a large wooden cutter of 53 tons gross (35½ net) was designed and built by Nicholls at Dartmouth in 1875. Measuring 63 feet in length with a 14½ foot beam, she had new sails supplied by Ratsey & Lapthorn in advance of the 1892 season during which she won the above trophy. Sold out of British ownership around 1900, she spent the remainder of her life in the eastern Mediterranean and disappeared from record between the two World Wars.
