Nesting dinghy 'Piccolo' in build:

Gill Wright has built a 'Piccolo' in California. Although a first time boat builder, Gill has built this lovely 9-foot tender to his Westsail 32 in a remarkably short time and to a high standard.

A few pictures to take you through the build . . .

Below, the major panels and parts of the boat assembled in a very simple building cradle.
