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.

Sailing on the Elbe in Light Winds
We tacked against the ebb current at 2 Beaufort and had to start the engine from time to time in order not to lose too much height.
Thanks for sharing, super helpful! I'm considering to build the didi 23 as well and have the same thought that 1.30 headroom might be a bit too little.
How do you feel now about your decision to increase it by quite a bit? Would you do it again or was it too much/too little?
I feel very well with the decision. 1.65 m headroom at the companionway is sufficient for me. But I am just 1.73 m tall. More headroom would make the ship to bulky I assume.
