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.

Join this group to discuss all topics related to sailing and repairing the DS16 and to register your boat in our database.

Submissions are not individually moderated before being posted, but we expect all members to conform to three simple guidelines.
1. We maintain an atmosphere of courtesy and mutual respect.
2. We don't post commercial advertisements, unless they are specifically of DS 16 owners interest.
3. File and photo sections: please use discretion - size and corruption should be of concern before you upload

Nous sommes un groupe bilingue et vous invitons à poster vos messages en français.

This group was created in December 2001. The three year hiatus that followed was due to no fault of ours…

"The sail, the play of its pulse so like our own lives: so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labours hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective".
Henry David Thoreau
