Scroll down to the bottom of the page and watch the video. I'm trying
to figure out if it could be scaled up to 18 feet or so and
reassembled in the water.


I don't know about that, but it sure is a pretty little boat. I prefer
the one that doesn't come apart in the middle. I see the site has kits.
I might buy a kit. Thanks!

We have room to store a 12 to 13 foot dinghy on top of the aft cabin
and use an electric hoist to launch it. Weight is an issue, maybe
400 to 500 lbs tops including outboard, fuel, anchor,etc. It looks
like that Chesapeake dinghy separates into roughly 1/3 and 2/3rds of
its length so I'm thinking 18 ft overall might be doable which is a
nice size. I'd have to launch it in pieces and reassemble in the
water however.
