[2] Operational historyIn a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The DS 16 is probably the smallest sailboat with lockable cuddy cabin that you'll find... The cabin has a little over 3 feet (1 metre) of sitting headroom and is supposed to have enough space for a double berth, although it's likely to be extremely cramped for two adults... With a total length of 16 feet (4.88 m) and weight of only 650 pounds (295 kg), it should be possible to trailer the DS 16 with almost any car." [4] - List of sailing boat types

The DS-16 can be sailed or motored in a good many semi protected areas, run up on the beach making the boat a very good way to camp along any body of water. If the weather gets raw, a warm small cabin for 2 would be far better than a tent and a tarp. Without friends none of this is possible. Plyboy. Senior Member.
A DS 16 was the first sailboat I owned in the late 70s. One of my first dates with my wife was on that boat. Got knocked down when a little storm popped up on Barnegat Bay. Down flooded the cockpit lockers when they popped open while the rail was under water. Gave her a nasty black eye with my fist starting the engine.

That's the 2nd boat in 3 months that I've lost that way. Someone else comes in and offers allot more cash. I think next time I'll just hit the highway with cash in my pocket and the hitch on the car.

If you decide that you want to get ride of those and maintain the general placement of foam; what about adding a 45 degree strip from the corner of the deck tread/cuddy vertical wall, then back into the hull. I've got a 1970 DS-16 sailboat and inside the cabin there on either side there's supposed to be fiberglass floatation foam holders.
