The Dione 98 is a 31.99ft masthead sloop designed by Gary Mull and built in fiberglass since 1970.
The Dione 98 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
