Dehler 36CWS

[jtwebb]

I have been told a Dehler 36CWS, identical to mine, lost its keel when it hit the Cowes ferry chain. My wife is now extremely concerned! Does anyone know the truth please.

Is this the one? http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/news/yacht-escapes-in-close-call-45931.aspx

I looked at Google images for a Dehler 36CWS and it looks similar.

Unless you are planning on doing the same manoeuvre, I wouldn't worry.

The boat in the photo looks to my more like an X-Yacht or a late model Beneteau First.

Don't think so thanks! I have no intention of doing such a manoeuvre of course but that does not convince my wife who spends a lot of time looking for reasons to get rid of the boat!

I'm not convinced that's a Dehler 36. Anyway, the Dehler 36 is a pretty solid offshore boat and the examples around here such as "Polly's Kettle" have done well in the Fastnet and RORC/JOG races in recent years with no problems. So they are a well proven and reliable design.

Looks like a recent Dufour Grande Large to me -perhaps a 375 but the picture is rubbish so it's difficult to be sure

Scratch that, it's an X yachts - you can just make out the distinctive X hull window. Could be a 37 - wonder if Pure Attitude was out and about

No, that is clearly NOT a Dehler 36 CWS.

If it was, then they are quite reliable.
