Folding wooden dinghy / tender.
This folding boat was made by Stowaway and is in excellent condition. It is constructed from marine plywood and fits into two bags, when disassembled. The total length is 180cm with a beam of 107cm at the widest point. She weighs 20kg and can easily be carried by one person.
The boat comes with two oars and a pair of rowlocks. The transom is strengthened to take a 2.5hp petrol outboard engine (Not supplied, but I would consider selling my 2.5hp Suzuki short shaft).
There is also external buoyancy that fits on the outside of the boat, if required.
Assembly and disassembly can be done in under five minutes, much faster than for an inflatable tender.
She also takes up very little space when disassembled: When stowed, one of the bags is 180cm x 45cmx15cm and the other bag is 90cmx40cmx10cm. She fits in my VW Golf estate and so should fit in most cars. Alternatively, the lightness of the boat means that it can easily be lifted onto a roof rack or a long car roof box.
Her small size means that she could be stored easily on a sailboat and assembled much quicker than an inflatable tender.
The boat can be stored in its bags or left sitting on her transom, when assembled.
This wooden dinghy is beautifully made and would even add to the décor of your house or man-cave.
Located 20 drive minutes from Carsington.
