Introduced in the late 1980s as a successor to the highly successful Dehler 38, the Dehler 39 CWS (Central Winch System) remains one of the most distinctive expressions of the German builder's "performance cruiser" identity. Designed by the esteemed Van de Stadt Design studio, the 39 CWS was engineered during an era of intense technical experimentation at Dehler. The boat was specifically marketed toward the "shorthanded" sailor, offering a level of cockpit automation that was revolutionary for its time. Built with the same rigorous engineering standards that defined the brand’s early success—including the use of Kevlar reinforcements in the hull laminates—the 39 CWS occupies a unique niche between the IORinfluenced designs of the early 80s and the more conventional performance racers of the late 90s.
