The Arrogant Boat Builder
Light weight, cedar strip nesting dinghies
updated 01-30-08
I specialize in building sail boat tenders that nest together and can be place atop the cabin top or foredeck. The bow fits inside the stern section. The boat come together and apart easily in just a few minutes.
Made of cedar and fiberglass with gunnels of
ash and walnut, these boats are both strong and light. Weighing under 80 pounds
with oars and seats, they both row like a dream and can handle up to 5 hp out
board engines. All bronze hardware and each boat comes with two, two piece
oars.
