Ten years old today,the boat was/is a one off,Dudley Dix drew the hull and deck lines but in steel,later designed the steel keel shoe and balanced rudder assemblies,I built the boat and added the center coach roof,later the hard dodger,the end result was very pleasing.She is one ton lighter than the original steel design,with a 50/50 weight split on the keel to boat when launched,so always sails well,even though the boats mast is 1.7 meters shorter than designed.The hull took me six weeks only to build on my own,excepting a little help in the first few days setting up the bulkheads.We can offer CNC cut bulkheads to this Dix 43 design.
