Dudley Dix Didi 40 CR

Exceptional bang for your buck! This cruiser/racer is built to a very high standard in marine ply and epoxy with a roomy cockpit and a two-cabin layout with a surprisingly roomy owners' cabin, and v-berth guest cabin. It's one of approximately 50 yachts built to this design Worldwide.

The cockpit is fairly conventional, with the protection of a spray dodger, and has a proper swim platform with hot & cold shower, as well as a sizeable storage locker and twin gas locker. There are six winches and the Raymarine instruments are mounted o to starboard of the companionway with an A95 plotter, wind and multi display. There is also a Raymarine autopilot and another Hybrid-touch plotter at the nav' table.

Down below the wraparound galley is to port with a 2-burner cooker with oven, and twin sinks. Aft of it to port is the owners' cabin which has a seat and what appears to be a Queen sized double with good headroom. Aft to starboard is the head and shower, and the head has a decent capacity holding tank. Forward of this is the dedicated forward facing nav'station.

The saloon has a U-shaped dinette to port that can be converted into an additional double, and there is a full-length saloon seat to starboard. The guest cabin forward is a generous size and the cabin has a seat and twin lockers.

The shaft driven engine is under the return of the galley centered over the keel and has excellent access all around. It's a 30hp Yanmar with 1076 hours and was last serviced 12 months ago.

This yacht has proven to be an excellent performer while also being very comfortable for time onboard. It should definitely be on your shopping list if you're in the market for a yacht of this size.
