I have a 1963 DS1 Hull number 1015

Postby clamdog » Mon Jul 28, 2025 10:09 pm

I raced the hell successfully as a kid out of it in the 60's and 70's at Chatham Yacht Club.
I had been sailing it recreationally since, twice going out the 1987 cut and sailing around Monomoy Island.
Water froze in it a few years ago and there is a crack somewhere in the hull.
I'm sure the repair is minimal.
The best thing about racing the DS1 was that it wanted to point high, so in a big wind I would have to fight the lee tiller.
I have floor boards, clip in rudder and tiller, mast and boom.
Blue fiberglass molded seats, indictive of a '63.
Blue deck.
I rebuilt the substructure for the winch over the centerboard with 1 inch mahogany in the late 80's.
Center board and lever (i had it cast after it broke in the 80's) is in tact.
I loved this boat and over the years my dad and I kept it in racing condition.
It has a trailer, but not sure of the bearings.
It is a wonderful boat and obviously it has been part of our family since 1965.
I just am hoping someone would want to take it on to race or just play on it.

Are you trying to sell this boat?

If so, please put an ad in the FOR SALE section of the forum and make sure that you note in the subject line that this is "for sale". Or you could ask me to move it for you.

As it is, no search engine will find it, and you might not get any offers. Also, you might want to give state and or larger town nearby in your subject line, to alert people local to you.

If you are not selling, that's OK to, but you might like to clarify that.
