Boatbuilding
"Friends Forever", a DH550 55' radius chine plywood catamaran built by J-J Provoyeur & others.
Provoyeur has built numerous monohulls and catamarans, principally employing the cold-moulding and Dudley Dix "radius chine plywood"[2] techniques, using plywood and epoxy. Such vessels range from small sailing dinghies to large 60' racing yachts and 55' cruising catamarans such as the Dudley Dix DH550.[3]
