First Touch,a Didi Mini Transat launches

The place is the Small Craft Basin and the RCYC,the time was some years back,the boat is the second Didi Mini Transat we built,as mentioned in an earlier blog,the hull only takes just twelve days to assemble,thats no fluke,we did two,one after the other.The Dix Design Radius Chine build method is the secret,it works on all sizes of boat too.

Its a fine picture,I think Andrew took it,he was the owners agent to the project.

The picture has been posted before,it came out yesterday so we could show a Swiss client what the original steering looked like,there were some small changes,to what we now call the Mk2 version,we are supplying the customer a set of powder coated alloy stantions (our design) push and pulpits,tiller assembly with the required duel rudder linkage,plus the boats chain plates in 316 stainless steel.

Export of such items is quite good,R2500 shipping cost only,thats about U$360 (cheap!) we can offer similar packages to other designs ,plus the rudders,drop foil and fabricated keel sets,the lead ballast moulds for the boat and the Didi 26 are ours as well.
