Wing Dinghy
Description
This is a 12-foot (12.0 ft / 3.66 m) homebuilt plywood dinghy designed for easy amateur construction. It uses basic materials (often sourced from a single home-center trip, including the rig and sail). The design prioritizes simplicity, light weight, and decent performance under sail or oars for protected waters, with a basic sloop or cat rig. No major series production; built individually from plans.

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.
