Black Panther 633 Posted August 30 Author Report Share Posted August 30 On the spur of the moment i placed an opening bid on trade me, not expecting much. Now there hasn't been another bid. I'll find out tomorrow if ive bought something. Haven't even given any thought on how to get it here from Mt Albert. Row? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MartinRF 10 Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 OK, I know this thread has been hibernating for two weeks now but I just came to think of this old dinghy description by Richard and Lilian Woods.

TimB 5 Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Hi martin, I built one of those many tears ago from 4mm ply. I didnt glass it so eventually (after 20years) it rotted through the bottom. Was very stable, I could stand up just inside the gunnel and it rowed like a witch with one person, but was slow with any more. Weighed next to nothing. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 139 Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Ok the lotto ticket idea does seem to be working and OCTenders aren’t currently doing the sailing version. So I’ve got the workshop, time and foredeck space So thinking of building a glassed stitch and glue ply dinghy between 3-3.5m that can sail first, row nicely and take our 5hp OB already have a good 3.1m rib so will mean some of the crew can go exploring and the mothership will still have transport Design options ??.?...???.

Fish 556 Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 The 9'6 nutshell pram is supposed to sail well, but may be a bit short for what you have in mind. https://www.woodenboatstore.com/products/96-nutshell-pram?variant=16904444608602 or the CLC Passagemaker, 3.5 m, and you can do a nesting option. https://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/wooden-sailboat-kits/passagemaker-take-apart-dinghy-wooden-boat-kit.html BP's Jimmy Skiff is there to: https://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/wooden-sailboat-kits/Jimmy-Skiff-II.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
