This picture is from the DisPro regatta last year.
Altogether there were 50 DisPros lined up although the picture doesn't show them all.
Looking carefully , you'll see quite a few differences between the boats. No two are alike that's for sure.
Notice that the sheer lines vary quite bit. That's because the workers probably took the boat our of the moulds and let it rest over a weekend, and the whole thing started to straighten up.

Thanks Miro. It must be something to hear 50 DisPros heading out across the lake. |

I missed the anniversary yesterday of the patent on the DisPro device.
It was patented on March 16, 1915.
