DJM 5/08 The following is text for display panel (DJM 5/08): Mimsy, a 10’ One Design “D” class Dyer Dink, was one of six ordered by James L. Lewis and purchased by Barbara Spadone Haviland. Before coming to the Museum, she spent her entire life on Round Island carrying members of the Haviland family and even a victrola at times. The Dyer Dink, designed by Philip L. Rhodes in 1934, is one of the largest dinghy racing classes. They are still in production today, but are built of fiberglass rather than the lapstrake cedar of which Mimsy is built. Contemporary Dinks are rigged with a Marconi rig; Mimsy has the older style sliding gunter rig.Collection
