I've added a little vessel to my collection of toys. It's a Dehler Sprinta Sport 23, made by Brighton boatworks in Canada. It needs a lot of work Here's the list:
- New Stanchion Base on left side near the gate, some deck work
- new stanchion bases all around
- secure the bow pulpit
- open bow storage - break the little lock with bolt cutter
- Seal windows
- Cut new wood interior out of teak or mahogany
- Sand floorboards
- Build cockpit entry step
- Add sealant around cockpit electronics
- Grease up the winches
- New cots with foam filler (gave cots to expert canvasworker Mark Gibbs)
- Re0-paint the name on the topsides
- Buy new lines or soak the usable ones in soapy water
- Paint the gas can black
- Throw the outboard overboard, get new outboard or none at all for sidetie
- Consider getting roller furling or tiller pilot

You didn't mention cleaning the blood off of the deck :) - your boat mechanic and boom stopper.
Have you sailed her yet? We have just bought one in the UK off E-Bay. Quite neglected but we had our first sail in her on Saturday and we really liked her. She sails just as well as we hoped, very balanced helm and very easily driven. Now planning a winter re-fit. First job is sorting out the main hatch. needs completely replacing, if yours is ok could you post some pics please. Regards, Brian

Hi Tanya
I came across your blog while looking at Sprinta Sport on Google. I've seen these around and they look like neat little boats. I've never talked to an owner. I'd be interested in your impressions of your boat.
thanks, jeff
