OTHER DINGHY
DESIGNS & PLANS
UP TO 10' LENGTH
We have 7 designs so far of varying
type and style :-
7'6" REDSHANK
 |
The
Redshank is a beautiful traditional English stem dinghy. Her length is 7’6’’
and she has a beam of 4’ making her a very roomy dinghy for her size. Mould
shapes are given so that she may be made by the purist using traditional clinker
methods. However, she was originally designed to be made using stitch and tape
methods and the plank shapes are given for this. With 7 planks per side she
retains a round bottom shape. She takes 2 sheets of 6mm ply and around half a
sheet of 9mm ply for the rowing version with an additional sheet of 6mm and half
a sheet of 9mm required for the sailing version. The drawings show all the
details for a simple lug rig with rudder and daggerboard.

7'6" GREENSHANK
6' DORACLE
|
Designed for a
client who wanted a simple stackable fishing dinghy which he could easily carry
himself, the Doracle uses just 2 sheets of 4, 5 or 6mm ply. She may be built in
2 pieces with the forward piece stacked inside the aft section. The 2 halves are
simply bolted together through the centre frame. Alternatively, the hull may be
built in one piece and made stackable by having a removable rowing thwart. The
overall beam is 3'8". The hull panel shapes and details are shown for
simple stitch and tape construction.

SIMPLICITY 8 CLASSIC
|
The
Simplicity 8 Classic is modified version of the original Simplicity 8 which was
designed for simple stitch and tape construction. In this case, the drawings for
the Classic version show details for her to be built using the ply over frame
method. A framework consisting of the transoms, centre frame and moulds are set
up on a strongback and hog, chine and gunwale stringers added - the ply hull
skin is then fitted over size and trimmed to suit. LOA 7'9" (2.36m); Beam
4' (1.23m); Approx. wht. 65 lbs (30 kg).

7'9" ARIEL
|
The
Ariel pram dinghy was originally designed for Joseph Thompson & Co. Ltd.,
for them to produce in kit form to promote their Cedar Speed Strip product.
Speed Strip is still available from them but they are no longer producing the
kits and the plans, with full size mould shapes are now available from
ourselves. The Ariel was based upon our Skylark 8 multi-chine pram dinghy which
has proven very successful as a tender, small sailing dinghy and car toppable
fishing dinghy. For those wanting to build a strip planked craft either because
they want a small boat or for those who want to try the strip plank construction
method before tackling something bigger, the Ariel is ideal. Although conceived
basically as a rowing or motoring dinghy, we can give details for the rudder,
daggerboard and simple lug rig off one of our other pram dinghy designs. LOA
7'9" (2.36m); Beam 4'2" (1.26m); Depth amidships 1'5" (0.43m).

INISHMORE 10
The
Inishmore is one of a number of strip planked designs that we have enabling the
builder to finish up with a beautiful round bilged craft of light weight. The
Inishmore is a lovely strip planked dinghy which was initially based upon our
Highlander 10' for shape and size. 6 or 8mm Cedar strip is used covered inside
and out with a light weight glass cloth in epoxy resin for a clear/natural
finish. The mould shapes for this are drawn full size and have been computer
faired. She can be built purely as a rowing dinghy and as such she would grace
the transom davits of any classic motor cruiser. For sailing we have given her a
simple sprit rig. This has an unstayed mast with a sail that can be brailed up
out of the way against the mast when you want to stop sailing and row or motor
along. We have detailed solid wood slated seats and thwarts for a high class
fit-out. LOD 10' (3.05m); Beam 4'11" (1.5m); Draft 8"/2'9"
(.22/.85m); Approx. wht 100 lbs. (45 kg); Sail Area 53 sq.ft. (4.89 sq.m).
