Great project. I love the result. I think that the balance between nice woodwork and weeks of maintenance is key. Every year I find myself missing the best sailing because I'm refinishing the brightwork instead of putting the boat in the water.

Jeff : I think you and I think alike. The ease of maintenance on composite materials coupled with some accent teak or bright work makes a great combination that is timeless and easy to manage.

Thanks for pvc foam board

Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome aboard

I built a 9 foot that is 43 pounds. In fact I built 2 and I built an 11 foot that is 50 Pounds. I think yours is prettier but mine has an advantage for those that want to access waters by foot or without a boat ramp. I suppose mine are not dinghy's but rather row boats.

Excellent!

Great videos,subbed, exactly what I am looking for ,I have a 25 ft sail boat , it can with no anchor locker of any description , I am seeking to create a shelf under the foredeck with a hawse pipe to feed the locker with line , my plan was to attach two lengths of timber one each side of the internal of the hull in the forepeak , raw hull no liner , once the timber is attached to the hull cut a V section of marine ply ,place it over the timber sloping downward towards the bow so I can install a drain and thru hull , now my question how would you attach the two lengths of timber to the hull ? , also what fibre glass Matt and resin would you use to cover the marine ply and tab it up onto to hull about 4 inches all the way around ,I am not to worried about appearance as it will be out of sight , just want it strong as it will be free from any other support , and will be housing 15 mt of 8 mm chain plus 50 mt of line ,probably around 30 kg , but with the slope of the shelf the weight should be resting on the hull forward as well as shelf , thanks for your insight cheers from Australia

Welcome aboard Jeferson and thanks for the feedback 👍😁

Your davit is a nice design but if you made the base with a pin to rotate you could tip the arms towards the bow and gain more height

We had one of these dinks several years back with the original flotation. It sank. Nice safe useful modification

Would it be strong enough to take a sail?

@motorcityboatwerks

Sure 😁but it’s no longer rigged to sail. It’s a dinghy row boat

your dingy is very sharp, very smart . electric trolling motor would work?

I just love finding beat up things and restoring them. Great job, Sir! If i might make one little comment about your blog. When you do a transition or interruption you throw up that color thing on the screen...followed by a piercing beep. Maybe it is my age...but it jars my senses every time and i find it unnerving. Please don't do that.

Alan you should be old enough to remember channel interruptions and community service messages on broadcast TV. Welcome to the channel😁

The dinghy looks great! Where did you buy the PVC board you used for the toe rail?

Mark: Try a 2” x1” piece of extruded pvc trim stock which you might find at a big box store. While not exactly the same as pvc foam board in certain applications it’s a close enough substitute

Hey Joe, I'll subscribe to your channel if you remove the annoying beep sound in the video. It really hurts my ears especially when wearing headphones. Good information though.

Great build... but keep your face out of the camera. Focus the camera more on what you are doing and how you are doing it rather you....
