Wooden Ships Comments on this Scorpion Sailing Dinghy
Scorpion sailing dinghy built by the SWALE boat builders in Sheerness, Kent in 1964 to the standard design of the Scorpion from that time. The design has evolved over the years and modern boats are faster and lighter, but this dinghy is still in nice condition and great fun to sail.
Sail No.633.
Bought by the present owners in 1969 and since the early 1980’s has been garaged most of the time and used for summer holiday sailing
Recently the owner has re-painted and varnished the hull so that she is looking in smart cosmetic condition.
A great fun dinghy that will provide exciting sailing, and although she will not be competitive in the modern fleet a new owner could still happily race her in club events.

Beam 4’9”
