History
DARAG is a Bermudan cutter-rigged sloop built in 1939 by David Hillyard at Littlehampton, England. The hull is constructed of carvel construction of pine on oak, double ended with long keel and timber spars. DARAG was completely rebuilt from the hull upwards by Thorkild Hansen and her engine was replaced around 2010. She was rigged for single-handed sailing, and she cruised extensively around the West Coast of France, Spain and Gibraltar. DARAG is unusual in that her aft cabin has been removed, allowing the saloon companionway to be extended aft, creating a much larger aft cockpit.
Update, January 2024: Vessel for sale.
