V10 V-bottom Dinghy
Description
The V10 Sailing Dinghy is a 10-foot stitch-and-glue plywood dinghy designed for amateur construction, available as plans through Bateau/BoatBuilder Central for $50. This is an excellent dinghy that can be used for rowing, sailing or with an outboard. She has good carrying capacity but is still light enough to car top. She is very stable and has a hull shape that will easily go through the chop of a windy anchorage. The V-bottom makes her a much better boat than a flat bottom. As a tender, she is probably going to be fitted with an outboard most of the time, but she will row very properly. She could also be turned into a sailing dinghy with a sprit rig

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
