Argie 15 boat kit,delivery to Alan.









For a change this one is a local delivery,thats why my Ford 1600i delivery truck is in the picture,Alan works shifts,he is stuck with spare time during the day when he is on nights,so taking a Dix Design Argie 15ft as a nice project was his good idea,his wife did complain that the lawns around the house never got cut any more but thats another issue! Alan sure made a good job of the boats build,he did it quickly too,about six weeks and he was then painting it I seem to remember?

A few words from the designer,Dudley Dix,

Alan Armstrong buit his Argie 15 in our home town of Hout Bay, South Africa. He started from a hull kit supplied by "CKD Boats" and did a beautiful job.
