Dylan Bailey Interviews Dudley Dix

Dylan Bailey is a marine surveyor and member of the committee of the Metal Boat Society. He recently interviewed me about my background in boats, designing, boat building and sailing. The interview was for the Metal Boat Society magazine Metal Boat Quarterly and Dylan has also posted it on his own blog. Anyone who wants to read it, please visit Dylan's blog at http://metalboatsurveyor.blogspot.com/2015/02/interview-with-yacht-designer-dudley-dix.html.

Dylan is also the owner of the prototype Little Creek 47 "Flutterby", which was built by his father Howdy Bailey of Howdy Bailey Yacht Services in the 1980s. She is a shallow draft steel cruiser with swing keel, twin rudders and staysail schooner rig.
