A new Sport boat from Dix Design

The DS15  or Didi Sportboat 15.

This one is quite new to me, Dudley has had it under wraps and only worked with the boats builder to date.The design looks like a rocket and so well built! Plans are not yet available, when they are we can sell you the plans and if required a bulkhead and backbone kit also.


Dudleys blog words:

A few months ago I blogged a Sneak Preview of a new design that was developing in North Carolina. That boat will not be ready for the Wooden Boat Show in Mystic Seaport later this month as expected but it is progressing. It should be there next year.

Yesterday I received the latest photos from the owner builder, taken this past weekend. When you look at them, please bear in mind that this man is an amateur boatbuilder and this is his first ever boatbuilding project. He has been a very hesitant builder, unsure of his own woodworking skills being up to the task that he had taken on. He has occasionally needed my reassurance to guide him in the right direction or confirmation that he is doing something correctly. He has shown himself to be a meticulous craftsman, working to a higher degree of accuracy than I have in any of my boatbuilding projects.

Read Dudelys blog on this, as the boat in the picture was built by a guy with no previous boat building experiance, what a great finish!
