New! The Newfound Dinghy
A rowing/sailing Pram designed by Hans Friedel, Friedel Design

The Newfound Dinghy, designed by Hans Friedel, is a rowing/sailing pram that could be constructed by kids at camp or a parent and child as a first-time building project. Built using the stitch-and-glue method with 6mm marine grade plywood, the dinghy has the added advantage of built-in flotation with watertight fore and aft compartments. All panels are pre-cut and pre-drilled ensuring ease of assembly and there are no long pieces to join due to the short length of the boat.

The wide beam and relatively flat bottom combined with a slight rocker provide a safe and stable boat for sailors young and old. This lightweight and maneuverable craft is also an excellent choice for use as a boat tender.

A variety of simple sail rigs can be configured for the dinghy and there is sufficient space for "crewmembers" on board. The Newfound Dinghy is an ideal first boat for aspiring sailors looking for a craft that's easy to handle, both on the beach and in the water.

Here’s what you get in the Newfound Dinghy kit: Plan sheet, Construction Notes, Fiberglassing Video, Pre-cut 6 mm mahogany marine plywood panels with wire holes drilled, Mahogany gunwales, Fiberglass cloth, 1-1/2 gallon kit of MAS Epoxy with application supplies, Bronze oar sockets, Pintles and gudgeons to attach rudder, Two 6” deck plates.
