Wouldn't it be better an easier if you use this 'the' DF forum as it serves all DF's and I'm sure it is of interest to other DF users what DF35 owner have to discuss?

Why do you want a separate forum?

Bo,

Would love to use this site also BUT there are no DF35 people sharing here. Where are our European DF35 owners? Not on this site.

Maybe you should/could get the ball rolling?!

Bo,

No DF35 owners appear to be using this website.

IF any other DF35 users are out there and looking at this site please stand up and introduce yourselves

Hi Guys,
I'm expecting delivery of my DF35 in November this year and have just registered. I would think that a single user forum would work better. Who knows doc, seeing all your US owners here might be the catalyst for the Rest of the World to join.

Hi guys,
I agree with penryj, a single forum would be best. The reason for not posting anything before is that I wanted some experience with the boat first. Now, after one summer in the boat I have put a couple of posts on the forum. Even though these are related to different problems, what’s most important is how much fun it is sailing the boat and how satisfied I’m with it. After more than 30 years of sailing monohulls I ask myself why I didn’t try Dragonfly before (The answer is quite simple, knowledge and money. Or the other way round).

For these fast boats, the world is not big enough for two user forums.

Sure Einar, we have to have experience before saying or writing. I am from Cph flying DF35 from October 07 with a long winter break, so it’s first now I can say sth.
Bo, my first question is: Is it possible to attach photos?

I agree. Visitors and members will gain much more from a diverse number of contributions to one forum, than from a sporadic few on several. The more forum members, up to a point, the better. This one is a ways from that point.

Not changing my mind, but just so you know. I requested info on used 35's and 1200's on this site for a month. Not one reply.

Finally today, I registered on the US 35 site. Within only a couple hours I received two inquiries: One from Dr. James Clayton, a member of this Forum. The other from very helpful US DF distributor, Richard Suriani.

Where are the 35 owners in Europe?

Bob

Maybe the reason for not having many (or any in the case of the DF28) comments from owners is that the DF35 and the DF28 are the (near?) perfect boats?

Of course!

What's there to say about perfection?

No complaints, too busy sailing...
