Dingo by SailMFG (USA) Catamaran

I bought this boat in the ‘70’s and sailed it extensively for many years, mainly in the 1000 Islands area of the St. Lawrence river. For the past 21 years, it’s been stored in the attic of my garage in the Windsor, Ontario area. As a project boat, it’s in great shape. To make it right, it will need a decent amount of cleaning and buffing as well as replacing caps in the deck that cover the beam post pins and replacement of the bow caps. The mast and boom are the gold anodized colour and there are many years of scratching on the mast. It has an enlarged mainsail with battens and has never been sailed with a headsail, although it does have a single forestay that would ease installation of such. Through deck ports were added to allow packing overnight gear inside the hulls for trips to various island parks of the St. Lawrence and it’s likely they may need replacing simply due to aging. None of the photos in this ad are of this boat, but it has a yellow deck with white hulls. I’ve read a few posts broadly deriding non-specifics of the Dingo, but in my experience, it’s a responsive, enjoyable and decently performing cat of 15’ or so. The raked mast and centerboard allow it to point well, it runs decently before the wind and is very stable when flying a hull. Overall, in my opinion, it’s a responsive and fun craft that deserves a better home. Shipping, if any, will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
