Dorothy details:
Dorothy was built in 1897, in the century before the last century. Perhaps the oldest Canadian sailboat still sailing, she was built in Victoria, BC by J. J. Robinson. Dorothy is a 30′ gaff-rigged sloop designed by Linton Hope. Sleek lines and her excellent present-day condition belie her advanced years. What we call her mid-life refit was completed in 2024. Thanks to the support of donors and volunteers she is sailing again on her home waters of the Salish Sea.
Dorothy now serves as the Maritime Museum of BC’s sailing ambassador, recapturing the glory days of vintage sail. She is a regular visitor to regattas, opening days, festivals and junior sailing schools in the region. We make a special effort to get youth out for a truly classic sailing experience on a boat built before their great-grandparents were born.
