In this video it is being pedaled in Hout Bay Harbour, Cape Town. Contact Dudley Dix for more information about plans. https://dixdesign.com/email.htm

Phil Semenov did a great job of building his radius chine plywood Didi 34 in Ukraine from our plans. This video shows Phil and friends on one of their early outings soon after launch. I look forward to more videos from Phil next summer. See more info at http://dixdesign.com/34didi.htm .

This video was taken by the skipper of a 54ft yacht in the Caribbean. The situation was that the skipper questioned the legendary speed under sail of the Shearwater 45, so Steve Hunt, the owner of "Maggy May", challenged him to a race to the next island and gave him a head-start of nearly 40 minutes. This was taken as the 45 sailed past him. It continued through his lee and arrived in port an hour ahead of the 54. See more info at http://dixdesign.com/sh45.htm .
