Does anyone know where I can get hold of a second-hand pram dinghy to be used as a tender.
Thanks

Thanks for this, I've just had a quick look but it's too far away to collect. I'm looking a bit closer to home, NW area if poss. But thanks anyway.

Hi Kate
If you've a mind, there is a beautiful website, Hannu's boatyard http://koti.kapsi.fi/hvartial/index.htm
with a wide range of small and incredibly simple wee ply boats, with full free plans and instructions. The simplest are built from a single sheet of ply in a couple of evenings...

Hi Adrian
Thank you for the Hannus site, I looked around the web but didn't find this one. The last boat we built was a Lysander in the 80s. I fancy the Mini Ekstock boat, I shall be at the timber merchants in the morning, and I have a good source of planed to size hardwood.
