Dinghy

A step back in time as I finished this project last summer but never got around to posting it. The 7ft Cherub dinghy from Cape George Cutters was bought as a bare shell. I fitted out the gunwales, Seats and made the oars.

I used Silver Bali for the gunwales which had to be steamed into place. Cedar was used for the seats to keep the weight down. The dinghy is quite light, beamy and rows well. I added Dacron covered gunwale guard all around.

Douglas fir oars with sewn leather collars.
