Dinghy Plans
These dinghy plans are for general purpose sailing boats with a length of less than 18ft. They primarily have one or two sails (maybe three) and will be quite light weight when compared to larger boats.
Don't expect these boats to be particularly fast or large, but they are great for kids and it will be a brilliant summer project for a family to do.

Peddle it, row it, motor it, sail it and stow it! The all new Deckster stowing dinghy does it all. The optional removable bow section allows this dinghy to find even a home on the smallest of cabin tops. Thanks to its innovative and well thought out design it is more capable than many other much bigger boats.
