[Public-List] Dinghy Solution

[Don Campbell]

Two cautions about boat building in the basement or garage especially 
with stitch and glue techniques: The first is to have the platform you 
build on absolutely level. A laser level  is helpful  here. The second 
caution is to have the diagonals from corner to corner absolutely equal 
by measurement before you start to use epoxy and cloth. If you miss on 
either, the boat will not be level in the water and that will be awkward 
to row! It will also give you an opportunity to send folks out the side 
rather than over the transom as Gord has done.

>I recommend the Phil Bolger designed Nymph, 7 foot 9, which you can find plans for in Dynamite Payson's book "Building the New Instant Boats." Stitch and glue, rows and tows very well, dead simple to build, (I spent about 40 hours on mine) and weighs about 60 lbs dry, so it's a good car topper too. One of the most clever aspects of this design is the longitudinal thwart which makes it easy to row for persons of different heights. That and its stability makes it a good boat for kids as well.
