Description
This is a very simple but pretty single chine 'V' bottom dinghy designed for use as a tender, fishing boat, or with her simple lug rig, as a sail trainer for your children. Length is 7'9" (2.36m); Beam 4' (1.23m); Weight approx. 55 lbs (25 kg). Construction is ultra simple and uses the stitch and tape process - so very quickly you will have a large 8' dinghy at low cost which will be very easily car topped. Construction time for the hull is approx. 25-30 hours.
