Here is an easy to built small dinghy. 2 m (almost 8 feed) long with a weight of 18 kg ( 60lbs light). The boat served us well on our 11 year journey on our PELICAN catamaran. I could row it till wind force 7 when we where at anchor. And we where more for anchor as in a port. So for shopping, going out, fun we had to use the tender. I never sailed the boat, or used an outboard it was always rowing. The plan shows a rig. If you build it as a tender it is not necessary to build the the daggerboard or daggerboard case.
