[Public-list] dinghys

[John Bailey]

I built the Chesapeake Light Craft pram and was very happy with it.  It 
took a little less than 40 hrs. to build.  I painted the hull to match 
my Alberg 30 and it looks great.  I was able to put it between the mast 
and the cockpit, although it was a very tight fit.  I did that because 
I single-hand often with hanked-on sails and I needed the room up 
front.  However, I always towed it and it towed very well.  That is in 
Lake Huron, Michigan and Superior.  Wave conditions could be different 
in the oceans.
