This blog will take you along the different steps of building a 23 foot dropkeel sailboat. The DIDI 23 is one of the available designs for the amateur builder designed by Dudley Dix. The boat is built as a radius chine trailer sailer from plywood with bulb dropkeel.

The last time I was looking for alternative designs and found an interesting article about building a 12m sailing yacht from plywood. The article was written by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Grabe from the University of Applied Sciences in Kiel, Germany.

The article describes construction and strength of the sailing yacht "SEQINEQ", a Dudley Dix design based on the Didi 38/40.
