Description
Using just 4 sheets of 1/4" ply, the 12' Highlander is a lot of boat for it's material cost, and with it's wide side benches and an easily handled sprit rig, it is an ideal dinghy to teach children to sail or to simply potter about in. With buoyancy fitted coastal dinghy cruising is a definite possibility with this boat. One of these dinghies has done sterling service as a fishing boat for a large teenage family and a tender for a yacht's stores and dog on the West Coast of Scotland. Strip plank details are available for the Highlander 12'
The Highlander 12 is an old favourite - many have been built and used in all sorts of guises.
