There’s eight feet of fun and usefulness packed into this sturdy plywood pram dinghy.
The plans herewith are those of an eight-foot, lightweight pram of the following dimensions:
Length overall 7 feet 11 inches
Beam 4 feet 0 inches
Depth 16 inches
Sail area 36 square feet
A centerboard has been installed in place of the original leeboard, the sliding gunter changed to Marconi rig and a rudder and tiller instead of the steering oar. The vee bottom is slightly more difficult to build than the flat bottom, but is superior especially for sailing and towing. The hard or sharp chine is simple in construction, but the flat chine is better, improving the looks and making rowing and towing in a heavy sea safer.
