I love the idea of a pram dinghy so much that I built one (a smaller one than this) 7 years ago with my intellectually handicapped son. We use it as a tender to our 28ft sailboat it is a great load carrier I have never put an outboard on it, it rows like a dream and the grandchildren love to play in it. The big boat is for sail and while I have just finished building an 11ft sailing dinghy for the grandchildren I will keep the pram dinghy for myself to trout fish out of and generally potter around in.
This is in no way a replacement for a RIB. So many people make the mistake of getting something like this, that doesn’t plane or an underpowered inflatable that also doesn’t plane, when going cruising. The fact that it doesn’t plane severely limits it’s utility as a tender when cruising. Also, it is nowhere near as seaworthy as any Hypalon inflatable. With my 10’ RIB and 15HP Yamaha 2 stroke I can comfortably make 20 mile round trips in about an hour. This allows me to anchor further out if I want and to explore vastly more than any non planing tender would allow. That being said, this is a beautiful boat but not sure what it improves on over the Joel White Nutshell. You do have to constantly worry about thieves stealing your outboard when ashore and sailing around the anchorage would be nice. For that reason I’m thinking of switching to a rollup to put the 15HP on, to free up the foredeck for a Spindrift 11N or in a perfect world, a PT11.
Ribs should be called deflatables. It’s the air coming out that is more important.
that sun better be under the yardarm before that drink
Beautiful and functional looking design. My only concern is the overall weight of the finished boat, which is listed as 170 pounds. An average builder will likely produce a boat that weighs a good bit more. I realize we're talking about a boat that is just shy of 12 feet with an ample five foot beam, but managing that amount of weight is going to be a challenge, both ashore and with any handling involved in stowing aboard. How large would the yacht have to be to support storing Oonagh on the deck? The CLC Passagemaker dinghy has similar dimensions, but only weighs 90 pounds and can be built as a nesting hull.
why are the chines cut off to an angle, seems it would roll easier thsn the full chine corners
Was inspired until I tried to get PDF plans. $157 I can't justify it.
Looks awesome. Beautifully conceived and executed. And, nicely communicated. Wish it had a jib but the rig look fun.
I built a Tender for Nerria by L. Nathaniel Hershoff, best tender ever and designed by a master
Hi, I just want to watch the further videos about this interesting dinghy. I don’t want to jump through hoops and have all my data collected. If you want me to see them make them available. I might buy your plans. But if you want to make it difficult I can keep searching for my ultimate dinghy
Worked with Eric about 18 years ago at schooner creek boat works quite the artist with wood.
This design is wonderful!
boat makers r so cool
Would be great to see a mini series on building this boat, it looks good .
I love this idea a lot. I am seeing quite a few different designs, but none of them "for sale". They are all plans and/or kits.
Hi, I'm interested, are there any European kits available? do you have a dealer in the EU where I can buy a nesting dinghy sailing wattian DIY kit?
Great looking boat....when is part 2 coming?
Looks like it is atleast 10 ft long, maybe even 11 ft. Would be a great day sailor, but I doubt it would be a good dinghy. Dinghies are usually kept aboard the larger boat when the larger boat is under way.
Can you make a nesting version of this? Like an Eastport Nesting Pram?
