The Didi Cruise-Mini is a cruising version of our Didi Mini racer. Construction is radius chine plywood as for the Didi Mini but it has more headroom, more comfortable accommodation with enclosed heads and a more protected cockpit with a cuddy shelter. Keel options include the standard fixed keel of the Didi Mini and a lifting bulb keel. It can also be fitted with a small saildrive diesel motor. The rig is more moderate than the Didi Mini, with smaller spinnakers and swept spreaders that allow sailing without runners except when spinnakers are used.
