Enquire about 9’6″ Salcombe Sailing Pram Dinghy
Please fill in this form and we will contact you about this boat
Clinker sailing pram dinghy built in Salcombe, either by Stones or more likely Edgar Cove. Slightly larger than the standard pram, at 9'6" she is a little more practical and easier to use. Complete with road trailer, gunter rig, sails and oars. In need of a gentle refit, perfect winter project for someone with skills, time and the garage space to accommodate her. Basically sound with very few broken timbers, this is not an extensive rebuild project in any way and would make a stunning boat when complete.
