Didi 34 being lifted on the Hout Bay Boat Yard Travel Lift
This was part of the survey work and when we went to the HBBY (hout bay boat yard) this morning to be lifted clear of the water.
The boat was built in just two years and from one of our kits, what a fine job the builder made!
The keel bulb is none standard but was designed by Dudley Dix and around a lead bulb mold that
the builder had the use of.
The International antifoul looks fair for 18 months in the water.
A high pressure water wash soon removed the small amount of marine growth from the under water area.
The HBBY did the lift, powerwash and re launch all in the same day.

Packing the Didi Mini Transat Mk3
The export orders always go into a purpose made crate, the norm is using 16mm chipboard, cut to size to give just enough space to allow the plys and in this case the CNC shaped rudders to fit.
Due to the space such a crate takes, we had the plys loaded with the crate against the wall pending on collection day.

The rudders were laminated and CNC cut to shape so that the customer could do final shaping himself. The envelope is a Lucky Packet of odds and bobs we send with most kits.
Steel band strapped, our crated kits have shipped world wide like this for over a decade and allow
safe handling and when the customer receives his kit boat order it is in the same condition we sent it in.
The shipping lable was attatched later, this order will go to Dubai, UAE, country number 35 we have exported to I think.
