Here's a handy boat that can be rowed, sailed, and powered with up to three large adults, and it "nests" to take up less space.
Length: 3.53 m, Beam: 1.42 m, Weight: 41 kg.
The Passagemaker Dinghy is easy to build but looks great and performs beautifully. A smooth glide when rowing, spirited performance when sailing, and steady handling with an outboard mark this latest entry in our fleet of graceful build-it-yourself boat kits.
This is the perfect dinghy for folks with larger boats. Are you tired of moving heavy, traditional dinghies that weigh 100 kg, or struggling with a limp, awkward inflatable that can't be rowed or sailed? Chesapeake Light Craft designer John C. Harris has drawn an elegant, Norwegian-styled pram that weighs only 90lbs, but can survive real abuse in the dinghy park. With a 650-pound payload, the Passagemaker can haul the entire crew in one go, or ferry blocks of ice and jerrycans of drinking water from the quayside to the mothership. The sailing rig components store flat inside the 3.53 m hull; fasten three shrouds and the mainsheet, hoist up the mainsail and jib, and you've got a fast, fun, stable sailing dinghy that will please even the most ardent and discriminating sailing enthusiast. If you have a long harbor to cross, a 2, 3, or 4 horsepower outboard will drive the Passagemaker to harbor speed limits and beyond. An electric outboard for fishing lakes will work great, too. If you don't want to lug around an outboard and smelly gas, you'll be delighted to discover how well the Passagemaker rows: there's plenty of rocker for low wetted surface and the transom won't drag in the water to slow you down. |

Laïta is inspired by the Norwegian prames which, because of their nautical qualities, were spread in the whole world like boats of ships, then like small boats of pleasure at the beginning of the 20th century.
Near to a small light sailing dinghy by its behavior and its performances, it makes it possible to lower the mast and to sail with the oar when the wind misses. The forms carrying prame, the possibility of taking laugh in the sail make of it also a sure, ideal boat for young people or children. Its behavior with the sea is healthy with all the paces. Its walk is remarkable out of sheltered water |

This Lightweight rowing skiff is specifically designed for sliding seat rowing, yet also can be sailed or fixed-seat rowed. Built of a double liner for stiffness, the Heritage 12 has enormous flotation; enough to be filled with water and still float 2 to the adults. Patented fold-in riggers hold the sculling oarlocks out to the correct width, but fold in for docking. There is also a built in option to move the rower to the bow to balance the weight of a passenger. |

| Jimmy Skiff : three boats for the price of one! Indeed, this little bare simple sailer is also an excellent rowing boat as well as a light tender... for when you'll have the main boat. Before the advent of the outboard motor, rowing/sailing skiffs were common on the US shoreline, and especially in the Chesapaeke Bay. They were used for crabbing, fishing, transporting goods, and enjoying summer evenings with a friend. Many local kids could row their dad's skiff long before they could ride a bicycle. Proper rowing and sailing skiffs are extraordinarily rare these days. |

| The Skerry is one of the few rowing hulls which are not "spoiled" by the required installations to make it an excellent sailboat. It is the boat for long treks: sailing when the wind is good, rowing when not. In both cases, you'll be going far and fast! The sprit rig is easy to set and to use, powerful for its size, and all the spars are short enough to be stowed without hampering rowing. The hull is stable and offers sufficient of buoyancy to face a good chop with 3 adults on board. Two rowing stations allow several crew combinations while under oar, always keeping the best hull balance for optimum handling. The Skerry is 15 ft long (4,58 m) by 1,37 m, with a draft of only 13 cm (76 cm with the board down). The sail area is 5,40 m2 (a larger sail, 5,70 m2, is available as an option). The hull weight is 45 kg: no problem to carry it on the small car roof rack! |

| Tradition does not exclude modernity. Minahouët is conceived to be accessible to a greater number of manufacturers by means of a kit containing plywood cut out on numerical machine. Gauges imbricating itself one in another make it possible to assemble as of the first day a mannequin of a high degree of accuracy. The parts of plywood, including bordered with covering joint are delivered in near total to the exact dimension and do not require any fitting: good-bye doubts and interrogations of the tracing and squarings. Epoxy resin, though used with moderation, gives longevity and weak maintenance. In finale the massive wood completions make forget the recourse to materials and techniques modern. |
