clareb 1 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 This looks mighty good: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/dinghies-rowboats/wood/auction-1435566149.htm Forgive my ignorance Dan (I'm new to dinghies) - is that a delta? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dambo 44 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'll .... third that, on the Delta - I still have mine sitting in the front yard - not much use with my eGBE. A bit heavy/big but fun to sail, great tender, motor/row etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 399 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 No that is not a Delta - which were designed and built in GI, that is a Ron Given Dot, I have had one for years but would not use it for a big payload or transport on an offshore yacht, our Joel White designed nutshells are far superior -Plans from Wooden Boat magazine or occasionally they come up on trademe. Tow very well sail very well and row as good as a 7'7"boat can. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,235 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I don't think OC Tenders make a sailing version? Yes they do, Hamish has one... But their website says "coming soon"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I looked at the OC tender at the boat show and thought that would make a great sailing dinghy with a rudder, centerboard and rig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 https://octenders.co.nz/gallery/ See the sailing dinghy in the gallery. There are more pictures on their facebook page Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I just remembered, I have what may be a seabird about 9 footer. Has centercase and seating. Needs a rig to sail. Motors ok, but definitely a displacement shape. Also needs a little (ok, a lot) TLC but is available for nix. If anyone wants a communal tender let me know and I'll unlock it.

marinheiro 352 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 BP is correct - John lives on a launch in the Weiti River alongside a boat shed ,that I believe is part of Chris Dickson's real estate portfolio (subject to what his ex gets in the divvy up) http://jwboatdesigns.blogspot.com.br/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
