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.

Shaping the Keel Foil
Over the winter time I will concentrate on working at the keel foil and the lead bulb. On the photos you see the keel foil hanging in my shed for finishing the profile.
