About This Sloop
In 1924, my grandfather, Dr. Alan Chesney, dean of John Hopkins Medical School, bought DICTATOR from Fred Torrey of Stonington, ME. In 2003 she got her owns shed. For 2004 (DICTATOR’S 100th birthday), her hull was finished, she was launched and we celebrated with a good 4-day soak in Stonington Harbor. 2007n saw her 3D “digital” restoration to her lines and original big cockpit layout. In 2013 the old deck was chain sawed through the first of her beautiful new oak deck beams were installed.
