Hi All
Just got introduced to this forum a couple of days ago and I thought I’d post some pictures of a small dinghy I made.
It’s called a Medway Doble 12’6” made from 6mm Ply using the stitch and glue technique. Took me 6 weeks of evenings and weekends from start to finish (including trailer).
Spars, gunwales ect are made from Douglas Fir and my wife made the sail. We didn’t have anywhere big enough to layout the sail cloth, so we had a word with our local priest and pined the sail out on the church floor!
The plans I bought from Selway Fisher http://www.selway-fisher.com/Other1013.htm#MED (http://www.selway-fisher.com/Other1013.htm#MED)
I’ve taken the boat out in quite a chop and she handles like a charm, much better that I expected.
The pictures of the finished boat were taken on the island of Mull in Scotland.
