I am curious about my recently purchased 1984 Spindrift DS1. I have seen older and newer DS'ers and they all have their masts stepped on top of the deck but mine has a keel stepped mast. When I bought it 7 months ago I didn't think anything about it. I would have preferred the deck stepped mast as it seems much easier.
Does anyone know anything about the history involving this keel stepped mast system?
