Olsen entrusted the design and construction of the boat to the famous Norwegian engineer Bjarne Aas, who had made his name with his 6 m FI Elisabeth V which won the 1924 Olympics at Le Havre. But the Da-Du was not as successful as expected and Mr. Olsen sold the boat the following year, and shortly afterwards, in 1929, it passed into Italian hands.
