The "Sinbad 2"
- a Nesting Dinghy for your yacht.

Principal dimensions: 
                  
        L.O.A.          3.40 m  (11' 1.8")
	Beam            1.53 m   (5'  1/4")

	Length after taking apart: 1.75 m (5' 9").

'Sinbad 2' is a larger version of the popular 'Sinbad' dinghy. She is 0.3m (1 foot) longer than the original 'Sinbad' and this translates into 1/3rd more volume and carrying capacity. Storage and buoyancy is provided in the enclosed aft seats and in the forepeak tank.

Like 'Sinbad' and 'Piccolo' this dinghy is of the pram type. For a given length pram types have more boat volume than the standard stem type.

Nested deck space requirements:
1.75 m x 1.53 m (5' 9" x 5' 3").

Construction:
Material: 6mm (1/4") Marine plywood
Method: Epoxy stitch and glue (taped seam)

 sailplan
The plans detail all parts and panels required for the building of the boat as well as all fittings and the rig. Detailed building instructions are included with the plans, illustrating the various tasks in easy to follow steps.

The hull is built in a simple construction cradle rather than 'free-form'. A cradle makes building a lot easier and ensures accuracy of build.

Control of the boat's shape is further assisted by the interior fit-out consisting of aft buoyancy tanks, mid-thwart/daggerboard case assembly and the forepeak tank.

Sails:
The sail plan above shows the boat with a 'leg-o-mutton' sail with a sprit boom rigged on a free-standing mast.

There are hardly any shop bought fittings needed for rigging her. A daggerboard and lifting rudder are all you need for the sailing version. The spars are short and can be either aluminum pipes or timber.

Propulsion:
She has been designed to take a short shaft outboard motor. Recommended Power: 2-3.3 HP, but if you beef up the transom she will carry a 5 HP motor.
Rowlocks may be fitted as either primary means of propelling her or as a back-up to the motor.

If no sail is going to be set, the internal fit-out can be simplified by omitting the daggerboard case.

If a take-apart dinghy is not required, just leave out the second mid-bulkhead during the build. 		Sinbad 2 02.JPG
