14' boat that fits INSIDE a small wagon. http://www.nestawayboats.com/page4.htm I also had a look at the prices. Sterling 1550 (that's $2378) for a 8 ft. dinghy? Pretty boat though. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

That is pretty high for a dinghy to be used for hauling supplies and people, banged into docks and rocks and dragged across who knows what. Can build that 8' stitch and glue for a heck of a lot less in the garage and not be afraid to ding it. |

Can build that 8' stitch and glue for a heck of a lot less in the garage and not be afraid to ding it. A friend just built a 10 ft. plywood, stitch and glue, dinghy and was bragging about using "imported plywood". I asked him what it cost him to built the boat and he said 5,000 baht (about US$ 160). I doubt that number as he probably didn't include the paint and some of the bits and pieces that he already had, but I'd guess that one could easily built one for $250, or a bit less. As I said, they sure are purty but I can't see humping the jerry cans of diesel, water, the bag of charcoal for the barbecue, greasy engine parts and all the other junk one hauls back and forth to a cruising boat in one. But absolutely the correct boat for the annual club cruise :-) Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

It wouldn't be high tech construction and the plans sell for 57 pounds sterling.
