DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

The DH 550 utilizes a powerful, easily handled rig, daggerboards and high bridgedeck clearance, to produce a boat designed for passage making. 

Modern, wood/epoxy contruction is utilized, to achieve superior stiffness,strength and impact resistance...Top quality Brunzeelplywood,and West System saturation is used in the hulls, with structural cedar used in the stringers. Greenheart is used in structural beams and cockpit sole- because of its superior hardness. 

This broker has made passages on this boat – and spent days crawling through her. The boat is very attractive and comfortable. The sailing characteristics are most impressive, and the level of pride and craftsmanship is obvious, in the quality of construction. This is a vessel which one would be justifiably proud to own, and show off.
