I have replaced the dodger and frame on my Sea Sprite 34, and have no use for the old one. The old dodger is fairly ratty; the strataglass is mostly opaque and just needs to go. Re: the fabric, some seams would need to be re-stitched and some snap holes need to be replaced. I really think the dodger would best be used as a template for a new one. The frame is intact, though one or two of the fittings at tube ends need to be replaced.
Anyone who wants to pick it up in Greensboro, NC, or Oriental, NC, or who would be willing to pay shipping, is welcome to it.

Sea Sprite 34 #26 "Adagio"
Bill,
We have Sea Sprite in Oriental. Her hull # is CER 34001M81F which seems to be hull #1 and she is named "Sea Sprite" She is currently on the hard at Triton Yachts, but the plan is for a May 22 launch. We have been planning a dodger so a pattern would be great. We are planning on keeping her at Whitaker Creek. We have seen "Sarah Leigh" and I think the other one at Whitaker Creek is named "Sailaway" Going to be quite a Sea Sprite enclave. If the pattern dodger is still available we could use it.I will be in Oriental this weekend and again on Memorial Day weekend.
Thanks
Dennis
Just a reminder--I'll be in Oriental this weekend. Would be happy to bring the dodger and hand it off to you if you're there, or could leave it somewhere for you. Just let me know

I met you recently with Bill Young, owner of SS-34, Adagio in Orinetal; you have done a wonderful job of restoring Sea Sprite, congratulations!
You mention Sarah Leigh and Sailaway; I would like to have any owner or additional information about these 34's as I am attempting to complete the list of surviving SS-34's. Can you help with these two?
