9’6″ Salcombe Sailing Pram Dinghy

Wooden Ships Comments on this 9’6″ Salcombe Sailing Pram Dinghy

Pretty clinker pram dinghy built in Salcombe, either by Coves or Stones.  Her original name is Tern and she was part of the Salcombe Sailing Club as denoted by the lettering on her transom.

Slightly bigger than the standard 8’ pram makes her more practical but still easy to launch and recover.

The boat is in need of gentle tidying up work although she has been afloat this summer.  The hull is basically watertight.  There are a couple of splits in planks that could be repaired but there are very few cracked timbers.  The rig seems complete but has not been together for some time.

This would be an excellent project for someone with garage space at home and the time and skills to work on her through the winter.  A pretty boat in basically very sound condition, she could be made to look extremely smart in the right hands and would be a very rewarding project.

She comes with a road trailer that has good wheels and bearings so she can be towed away without concern.

Length              9’6”
