If contemplating the inherant beauty of the elements and enjoying minimalism sailing is what you strive for, you have come to the right group. Wherever the wind takes you, the DS16 is your reliable companion. Her fiberglass/galvanized steel centreboard or fixed keel, and her planing hull contribute to excellent heavy weather sailing for the thrill-seeking individual.

Nous sommes un groupe bilingue et vous invitons à poster vos messages en français. Cette option est offerte depuis bien longtemps, mais elle a été rarement utilisée. Cependant, nous continuerons à l'offrir car nous pensons que nos échanges seraient autrement plus enrichissants si nos membres francophones ou francophiles postaient eux aussi leurs commentaires.

Join this group to discuss all topics related to sailing and repairing the DS16.
