Two Paw
Description
The Two-Paw is a compact, nesting pram dinghy designed by Graham Byrnes of B&B Yacht Designs, ideal as a tender for larger sailboats or a standalone recreational row/sail dinghy for one or two people. It's essentially a variant of the popular Catspaw pram series, specifically optimized for nesting (splitting into two sections for compact storage on deck or in a garage). Named as a "two-paw" to evoke the Catspaw's feline theme, it's built for shallow-water use, easy trailering, and light sailing. First introduced around 2006, it's a kit or plans. A practical "working dinghy" for getting ashore, fishing, or casual sailing, with the ability to carry an outboard motor.
