click link at right for . . . Dan Dalrymple's Family
Tree.
- Year: Early 1700s. Place: Northern New Jersey.
According to the oral tradition of the Morris County, New Jersey
Dalrymple descendants, which has been passed from one generation to
the next. Andrew Dalrymple the
progenitor of this family, together with two brothers, came from "Dunamoy" in
Scotland. Andrew settled in Morris County where he purchased 1000 acres in
Center Grove, extending to Walnut Grove (now Mt. Freedom). Above text is from
Althea F. Courtot's "Some Descendants of Andrew Dalrymple from Morris County,
New Jersey." We, the descendants of Andrew, are still searching for his
origin.
- Since there seems to be no town called Dunamoy in Scotland we
are thinking that it was possibly Donoughmore, North Ireland
although two different Dalrymple histories are now pointing to
Glasgow, Scotland. My cousin, Janice, has visited Scotland several
times searching for this answer. Fact is . . . we still don't know
the true origin of Andrew and his two brothers. Dan Dalrymple.

homepage
- These pages are dedicated to Bill Lapworth,
one of the greatest yacht designers in the world. Jack Jensen
started Cal Yachts and Jensen Marine in 1959, Bill Lapworth was his
designer. Many of the first Cal yachts were called "backyard
boats" since they were originally molded and built in an open
boatyard. Rain and moisture didn't seem to be much of a problem at
their Southern California location.
- the Cal 2-27, Line drawings and
information on the boat that captured my heart. . .
- Read more about the Cal 40, the first fin
keel, spade rudder production sailboat ever produced in quanity.
Hundreds were sold. This was one of the biggest sailboat design
changes since the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria... Jensen and
Lapworth brought "big boat" sailing to the masses. The Cal 40,
designed by Lapworth in 1963, revolutionized offshore sailing.
- The Cal 40 was super fast, comfortable, and "Oh My!,
The rudder isn't attached securely to the keel! Wow, it isn't attached to
ANYTHING!"
- There doesn't seem
to be much on the web about Cal Yachts. I like
'em. If you own a Cal, or are interested in Cal Yachts,
you can spend lots of time here... Dan Dalrymple

- Pros, cons, specs, line drawings and my humble opinions of
several popular sailboats here on Lake Erie, including Pearson 26
and 30, Catalina27, Catalina 30, Cal 2-27 (27 feet), Irwin Citation
34, mild steel Roberts 34, Carl Alberg's designs, Crealock 34,
Crealock 37 and Tartan 37. These boats are all popular vessels here
on Lake Erie.
Sorry, the photo at right is not a Tartan 4100 or a Crealock
44. It's a photo of my new boat, almost ready for a world cruise...
the path, of course, leads to the outdoor head. All she needs is a
coat of paint. As you can see, I've already started to set sail.
I'll be ready when the tide comes in...
