Out of the Blue Dibley 8000

The Dibley 40 'Fulcrum' Story

Our Dibley 40 ‘Fulcrum’ story is in the latest Boating New Zealand Magazine (June 2024).

She was designed for a
Yachting New Zealand Competition in the early 2000’s.

Carl Smith bought the rights to build and 30-years after we first put pencil to Vellum, she is now sailing.

Her very happy new owners are
Derek and Janine Grul!!

Still a little work to be done including some rig adjustments and a new square top main, but that is the nature of home builds where priorities are made on time, cost and quality.

Derek and Janine did a masterful job on all three.


"Watch out for more performance as we make the small tweaks".
