Brooklands Aviation Dolphin 16 - any info gratefully accepted

[WOODY57]

I have the Bristows 1968 book ... and sadly the 16 is not mentioned .. but book has full entries for :

Dolphin 19 Mk II
Dolphin 20
Dolphin 23

All listed as Cold moulded Marine Ply on Mahogany frames ..... must be a bit before the GRP ones.

I must admit that I have a liking for the older boats sail and motor. They seem to have character in their form. Not like todays modern boats. Guy in next house from me has a new 12m MoBo ... which looks horrendous !

Thanks for your reply good information
I agree with you about old and new boats
I will try again and upload some photos. It seems they were the wrong format
The Solent 16 and the 19 are quite similar center cockpit seating in the rear and accommodation up front

When you look at the photos - you can see the Post-War rescue launch style of design ... functional.
