Compatibility between ds 1 and ds 2
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 2:54 pmIt appears that the rudder and tiller are the same and possibily the sails. How about the mast and boom and the center board?

Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 5:00 pmJust make sure if you get a mast that you get the correct one (keel-stepped vs. tabernacle). That's not DS1 vs DS2 specific.
And mast and boom need to go together - I believe having read that there is some differences in gooseneck fittings over time. (Worst, you'd need a new fitting).

Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:17 pmThe DS2 mast is 6" shorter than the DS1 due to the raised floor in the cuddy. Accordingly, you can shorten a DS1 mast for use on a DS2.
