WaveDancer Yacht Design-Sail and Power, Dinghies, Small Boats and Yachts

Overview: Plywood Stitch and Glue Sailing Dinghies

  • Dinghies in this listing have been specifically designed for this construction method.
  • Plans for all my designs are very detailed - that's just how I like to work - I have had very positive buyer feed-back about that!
  • You get fully dimensioned hull panel and bulkhead layouts, sail and fitting plans, even the building jig, where it is required, will be detailed.
  • So there is no guessing, every part that is needed for the boat is shown on the plans.
My aim is to make building any one of these boats a breeze - you do not have to be an experienced boat builder!
Simple tools and your wish to own an attractive, fun sail boat is all you need.
  • Aside from the drawings, each plans package comes with a comprehensive building manual that details the building steps, a material list and comprehensive information on epoxy glass building techniques.
  • Lots more general boat building info is available on this site, just click Tips, Tricks, Articles menu .

Note:
This 'Overview' is a convenient way of listing a number of dinghy designs with brief stats so you can home-in on something that interests or suits you.
