Didi 26 to North Carolina,USA


This is the same boat under constuction.


We had a nice order from the USA to send out a Didi 26 kit,we then were asked if we could build it also? looking at the task,it was clear we could,it fits into a container,just! this picture is of the boat being unpacked on arrival.We also made the drop keel foil and produced the mould for the 400 kgs of lead ballast,its in two halves,we still have the mould and will re use it quite soon,as the same drop keel design fits the Didi mini cruise kit we are shipping to Austrailia.

I had just built two Didi mini transat hulls,they take some twelve days (12) to build each,the decks about double that,it took me fifteen (15) days to build the Didi 26 hull,its five feet longer but narrower than the Didi mini transat,so easier to reach the center of the boat while your standing on the floor.

  1. 15 day for the hull only or with deck? How many days for the complete boat without hardware and rigging?
