Jacobs Brothers in Cape Town, South Africa, are building a Dix 43 Pilot for a local customer, who is having to halt the project for financial reasons. This is a well-proven cruising design, with a record of multiple passages to both the Arctic and Antarctic in addition to more normal cruising grounds.
All metalwork has been completed to a very high standard by these expert builders. Only winch pads, sheet car tracks and through hull spigots remain to do of the hot work but those are included in the price required by the seller.
Dix 43 Pilot in Jacobs brothers Workshop Pilothouse & dodger details. Cockpit & stern details. Bow details. Steering gear installation. Engine on beds.
If interested in taking over this project, please contact me by email and I will put you in contact with the seller to discuss with him.
The following is directly from the seller, describing the state of the project and what additional items are included.
The ideal scenario is that someone takeover and complete with the Jacobs. They are ready and willing to crack on asap.

are the water and diesel tanks. The new Yanmar 57hp engine is also in the boat
along with stern tube and P bracket.
