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.

Primering Completed

Primering the Hull
Unfortunately I didn`t bought enough primer.
The total hull requires 3 times 0,75 liter EPIFANES EPOXY HB COAT per layer. The underwater hull requires 1 1/3 cans 0,75 liter EPOXY HB COAT per layer.
Remaining unevenness of the surface became visible after priming. I had feared. That is, after priming, I must fill another time.

2000 Hours Working Time Completed
Today I completed the 2,000th hour of work on my ship. Gradually I'm uncertain whether the launch can still take place this year. It is left to do too much small stuff which takes more time than expected.
