Is there a dinghy that can sail, row and motor?

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.

There seem to be bugger all of these for sale on trademe - maybe you need to reclaim that space in the front yard!

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.

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.
