Building my dinghy

   So we have been in need of a dinghy for a while now. I must have looked at 20 different

designs,all of them have been very expensive, or poorly built. the ones that are nice, are expensive, and very good targets for theft.
So I have come to the conclusion, after falling in love with a dingy, just to find out it cost almost $20,000, that i need to build my own.
It will not be perfect. I am aiming for function. I am thinking about 13-14' in length, 5-6' wide, removable centerboard, removable rudder, with an outboard mount. When I am done with my creation, I doubt anyone will want to steal it. I will paint it bright pink, with a big breast cancer ribbon down the side. I want it to be a sailing dinghy, because what fun it will be in a bay, to sail about and explore using just the wind. When the wind dies, i fire up the outboard, or row.

In the mean time I have done a repair to our current dinghy. The board on the transom were rotted. tomorrow I will finish it, but for now, I went out and had a blast!
