I have done four this far, two were the Didi Mini Transat 21, once the building stocks were in place each hull took me twelve (12) days to assemble, then and after the Didi Minis was a Didi 26, same again, once the stocks were in place the hull took me fourteen (14) days to assemble. I have also done a Dix 43 , that hull took me six weeks to assemble. All work was basically done by myself and with very little outside help. The Didi Minis and the Didi 26 were done with plywood kits from www.ckdboats.com .Mc Bridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936710654333009188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574088453848301473.post-14452968557890681462023-08-12T09:33:52.178-04:002023-08-12T09:33:52.178-04:00Nice one Dudley, www.ckdboats.com will be happy to...Nice one Dudley, www.ckdboats.com will be happy to add this design to our plywood kit sets.Mc Bridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936710654333009188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574088453848301473.post-69747017414523770322023-03-09T15:35:15.563-05:002023-03-09T15:35:15.563-05:00Kevin built it mostly working by himself evenings ...Kevin built it mostly working by himself evenings and weekends.

I was given the label of being anti-cat due to a misquote in a sailing magazine that said I didn't like cats because they aren't self-righting. They took my statement that a good family cruising monohull must be self-righting and they attached it to multihulls. They corrected it in the next issue but the damage was done. BTW, I designed the DH550 cat along with Phil Harvey 18 years ago, it is not a new design.Dudley Dixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463988486568081821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574088453848301473.post-28167420630993291172022-01-05T08:25:46.122-05:002022-01-05T08:25:46.122-05:00So Black Cat has finally convinced you to make an ...So Black Cat has finally convinced you to make an actual cat!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157017024098584921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574088453848301473.post-86052608589804968472021-12-22T10:28:06.473-05:002021-12-22T10:28:06.473-05:00i need
