Dabchick an international class?
In recent weeks we (the class) has received a request from ex South Africans in Australia for plans. Our Technical team are in touch with them to supply the plans. I have no doubt that if they build them, their youth sailors are going to find out what they are missing.
On top of that,we have received enquiries from Mozambique for costs of 2nd hand boats and new boats. I have supplied them with the detail and put them in touch with Steve Du Toit. Our Mozambique contact has invited any any interested Dabchick sailors to join a Regatta in Maputo in JUly any takers?

in recent years i have always dreamt of having the class an international one, and now im hearing this news i think we as dabchick sailors should try to push this forward and open ourselves to international competition and try boost our class.i think many should try get to maputo and promote the dabchick there.myself and my friend/skipper on the 29er have been thinking about playing around with the dabchick and making it alot more extreme and quicker to either attract more sailors or to even get our lazy parents onto a boat which will be fun and remind them of their youth. what u guys think?
