Donzi Found In Yard

[818181]

Does anyone know of a Donzi from the 70's called "Little Broad Jumper"? I happen to know it's in Conn. Saw it in the woods, cover had blown off. Any History?

Yeah, that boat is covered pretty extensively in SeaRace by John Crouse. If my memory of the book is right, that was an Aronow-built Donzi. If it REALLY is Little Broad Jumper, let me know what woods it's in, I'll be there!!!!

You're probably right T2, I must be remembering "Big Broad Jumper" from Crouse's book.
