Hi John,

Have to go find the dinghys, built a bunch of them. Still have a 10 footer and an 8 footer (I think).

It's pretty simple, single plywood box frame and transom, ply sides with an external chine and ply tacked to the chines, then filet added to the inside.

I added a dagger board slot and a small deck to brace the mast tube. Pretty fast sailer with about 30 ft. of sail.
