Back in the 80's I had an early 70's Dickerson 35 center cockpit ketch, which back then were wood. I had the opportunity to visit their facility in Trappe, MD. When they transitioned to fiberglass they increased the length to 37' and had a cutter rig, sloop rig, as well as the ketch rig. The ketch rig was available in an aft and center cockpit. My 35' was a center cockpit. Dickerson also built a very limited number of Dickerson 50' ketch and cutter rigs. They also built the Bruce Farr 37 of which there were quite a few race winners. That 4'6" draft is king in the Chesapeake! I would have to always return to my dock at near high tide, but it was super stable in the shallow, choppy Chesapeake. Thank you for including this great boat design in your wonderful review of classic boats! I look forward to Thursdays because of the two of you. Cheers.

Captain Q I am 100% with you on anchoring with a chain leader and nylon rope. Modern anchors are designated as "super high holding" and therefore only need sufficient chain to get the shank down and the fluke(s) to set. I like nylon double braid rope of similar strength to the chain; note wet rope has a lower breaking strength than given by the manufacturers.

I own a Dickerson 36 (my one video on KZitem is about buying it) and it is a great boat. One configuration of the 37 that you did not mention was the "Aft Cabin" (center cockpit) Ketch - which is also the configuration of my 36. When I was looking, I wanted a center cockpit ketch in this size range, and the Dickerson 36, 37, and Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35 were all available in this configuration and on my short list.

You gents have been bringing us some real gems lately and I hate to have to say it again but what a little dream boat to bomb around the Bahamas on especially considering her shallow draft and how solidly she's built. I'd have no issues getting her all up to date with current amenities, adding some solar w/lithium bank, possibly some soft start ACs, modern fridge and freezer, some high tech nav toys just to make the wife happy, a jungle gym/solar arch as the captain calls them, a modern 12 to 14ft dingy with a decent motor on the back and away I'd go be it just cruising or crossing oceans. I totally agree with the Captain she's an easy 47 points on the Captain Q rating wheel. I really hope in a couple years your still finding these gems so I can finally snag one up for myself. As always thank you again gents for showing us that being able to afford a yacht and make your dreams of sailing/cruising a reality. That it doesn't require you to be a millionaire to just get out there. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

aaarrrggghhh.... If I didn't have some personal issues preventing me from acquiring another boat, I would be all over this one. The Dickerson has been my favorite boat since the early 70's. And one with a Ketch rig is the cherry on top of the float! She needs a little help but, aside from the teak decks, nothing major that one can see. Certainly, a survey is in order. The teak decks could be an interesting (read costly) challenge but, maybe not needing too much attention right away. CQ, you are killing this land locked Sailor!

Captain Q is right. As long as you're anchored on sand or mud, nylon's a great anchor rode. 2 or 3 fathoms of chain to weigh down the shank of the anchor so it gets a good bite and Bob's your uncle. Very comfortable. Don't do it on coral or rocks, though. The motion will saw the rope in two. Or fray it at the least. What a great boat! Very pretty and nicely set up for short to medium range cruising. And it seems solid and well-designed and well-appointed enough that setting it up for intercontinental cruising could be achievable without having to spend millions in redesigning and rebuilding. Assuming there are no major, hideously expensive problems (blisters, hidden spar or keel bolt corrosion, electrical gremlins, sails in tatters, etc.) the price seems fairly reasonable, as well.

I've been in love with the Cheoy Lee that you all done a video on and recently I discovered the Defour sailboats... I checked out online several 35 footers and they have a really great layout and awesome use of space.. their 35 foot sailboats are laid out like a boat in the 40 footer line.. they're amazing..I checked out a Defour A9000 that's for sale in Oakland California.. it's a aluminum boat and like all Defours built for speed and comfort.. maybe Capt Q & Randaay can find a 70s to early 90s Defour in the 30 or 40 footer size with a decent pricetag to cover in a future video because I'm curious about what Capt Q knows of these sailboats.. thanks again and God bless you 2

When testing the forehatch, rather than hosing it down from above you could do a chalk test like we used to do in the Navy as part of our PMS. Just chalk the knife edge all the way around, dog down the hatch, then open it and see where on the gasket the chalk is missing. That is the spot where it will leak. Adjust the dogging mechanisms accordingly then retest it until the chalk is present on the gasket all the way around. This was I think an annual or more frequent check on every hatch on every ship in the Navy.

Now I see its purpose- it supports a map drawer! Unfortunately, the drawer is nowhere to be found on our boat.

Anybody has some experience between the alden steering wheel vs the pedestal steering? To me it looks like the alden system is more difficult if the boat is heeling over and you want to stand up behind the wheel to get a good overview. Does this system have any (dis) advantages if you want to use a selfsteering windvane?

it should have no bearing on the vane choice that i know of like a servo pendulum but after a firsthand knowledge of a hydrovane from my son in laws trip over the top this past summer I would take a long look at one of those myself

teak decks are a colossal pain to replace or get rid of. a little refrigeration update? thousands of dollars. otherwise a good old boat.

agreed... although some of the new synthetic deck solutions make it seem a tad easier than 20-30 years ago. cheers, Kaspar!

Have you ever heard him say this boat is a POS? A 37' boat is too small for the ocean. It is slow. You will get caught in bad weather. It does not have enough space for a decent sized crew. It is a coastal boat.
