What do you think a dinghy like that would be worth?
How would it compare to a $1K Walker Bay 8' model



I've got one of those gathering dust in an old garage. Even has the
mast, sail, rigging, centerboard, rudder and oars. Anyone want it?

What...a Walker Bay with the sail option?
I'd love to have it... if only you were a bit closer.



I don't know much about the different sail types ... this one has a
particular name that I've forgotten. It reminds me of a small version of
what you see on a Chinese Junk.

I sailed it around Scituate Harbor a couple of times with onlookers waving
and laughing at me from their boats. (I am not a "little" guy). It was fun.
I even registered it at one point and used an electric trolling motor on it.

I see the 8' version has two different sail types. The cheaper one is
pointed at the headboard like your average sloop while the performance
plus version is rounded at the top.
In the 10' model both main sails are the rounded top type but the
performance version comes with a small jib.
