The stupid burns, a very big problem, and in the “harder times come soon” department…
Voile Magazine has a really good article on the Django 7.70. It’s well worth a read even if you have to use a translation app to do it. It’s the sort of article that American sailing rags just don’t seem to be able to do these days.
It’s a nice boat and the simple sensible design and build are just the sort of thing you’d want to study if you were refitting an old plastic classic on a budget. Nothing is overdone, nothing is missing, and like all good designs, simple sensible design is the operative mantra.
A very sweet ride…
Not everyday you get a RCD A class bilge keeler of that size and displacement. I liked the older boat too. I would bung the head up forward and do away with the berths up there. And 12 knots under complete control is also eye opening.
I would have thought a chart table is a bit dated on a small boat. Cool design.
Cheers
