Having seen pictures of the DK-17 and seeing Bill's boat before it was finished makes me believe it would be a fast design.
So my question is... How come, if Lars could build a DK-17 cheaper than buying an A3 how come he still sails the A3? I know his boat in modified but is there is the A3 hull proven to be faster than the others? Is it just that the DK is designed for heavier sailors?

I don't know how much Lars weights, <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> BUT the main reason I am looking at the DK-17, is there is no way I will EVER see 150-160 lbs again. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> The DK-17 was more volume in hulls for us "Lard butts" <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
