Description

Over the years I have often been asked about the design for a nesting dinghy. The Skylark pram dinghies have often been split at their centre frame and built with 2 frames back to back so that the forward end fits into the aft end and this has worked quite well.

 The Surf 12 is the first design specifically designed to be nesting with the bow section fitting into the aft section which is just over 6'1" (1885mm) long. The centre and aft thwarts are designed to be removable so that the bow section fits lower and neater.

 The plans include details for a gunter rig with jib, daggerboard and rudder and the daggerboard case is entirely in the forward section. Construction is simple stitch and tape and the dinghy can be built in one piece if the builder wishes.

 The Surf 12 is a large 12 footer for family sailing, rowing and motoring which can be conveniently car topped and stored in a length of little more than 6'.
