DINKY DORY -12 foot Car Toppable clinker style rowing boat.

This very light boat looks as though it ought to weigh 4 times as much. It will accommodate up to four.

At 3.6 metres long it is not so Dinky but a much larger version is currently being developed

This sturdy dory will give many years of service and still look beautiful.

Originally designed as a fishing boat for easy beach launching this version makes an excellent recreational boat that can be carried on a roof rack.

When you are building one of our boats we offer FREE email or telephone advice and re-assurance

This Dory is a light boat with a high freeboard. The draught is only about 100 mm making it ideal for shallow water. Despite the shallow draught the boat tracks well thanks to an extended skeg. To draw admiring glances the boat has been designed in a clinker style. The flowing shape is achieved by the use of scarf joints.

There is a buoyancy chamber fore and aft with a hatch for easy access.

The kit is for a rowing version although it is possible to fit a mast and rudder. It can also be fitted with a motor - we recommend a light electric one.

Despite the complex look of the boat it can be assembled in about 40 hours from the kit using very few tools and basic woodworking skills.

Kit comprises:
. pre-cut wooden parts
. pre-cut scarf joints
. epoxy
. glass fabric
. construction manual
