Marc Beaupre launched his aluminum version of our Didi 26 in June 2005, in British Columbia, Canada. He did the conversion to aluminum himself.
Marc said "We have sailed the boat a few times and I am totally amazed of how
well balanced she is. There is a very slight weather helm. She is also very fast. Thank you so much for such a nice design."

Tony & Di Tapley built their Didi 26 in South Australia. They have the short rig on her.
Tony said "As soon as the mainsail went up you could feel how lively it was. We achieved over 7knots with the aser up in not very much wind, so I am looking forward to seeing how quick it is in decent breeze".
