I just recently got a seldom used DS1 that I'm pretty exited about. There's been few mods over the years, still has the crosby main system, mast jack, upper stays, hole fed jib sheet (to cam cleats at least), full length mast and Ratsey sails. Despite its age after I cleaned it up its in pretty good shape. My plans are to sail it pretty much as it is, making any mods to fit me slowly. In fact my first project (OK my wifes) is to find sea green fabric and make a boom tent for it. Overall it should make a good companion for my Rhodes 19.
