Dix 59
Designed by Dudley Dix
The Dix 59 is a 59 ft steel sailing yacht by Dudley Dix. His design index lists it among the metal radius chine monohull sailboats and marks it as a partial design, meaning it was commissioned with only part of the usual drawing package. It has no page of its own on the designer's site and does not appear on the current price list, so no beam, displacement or rig details are published.
Anyone interested would need to ask the designer what drawings exist. A steel yacht of this length demands strong welding skills, lifting gear and a very long commitment. As a rule of thumb, expect 10,000 hours or more. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Dix 59 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
