About half-way through construction, this multi-chine ply dinghy is within the ability of an advanced amateur. It sails and rows well and is very stable. Design by John Welsford, construction by Laura & Alan Loveard
Fancy a full teak fitout? This "labour of love" took nearly a year to complete, using mainly 6 mm double-faced teak ply and solid teak trims and pre-cut mouldings. Vessel design by Roger Simpson; material supplies by Caporns; construction by Alan Loveard
One of our neighbours at a Sydney marina. If any members of this forum wish to undertake such a restoration project, please understand if we are a bit too busy to help you - probably ever! The vessel name and owner have been suppressed to protect the guilty!
