Wooden Ships Comments on this Selway Fisher gaff rigged dinghy

Designed by Selway Fisher, taken from “Selway Fisher Plans of America”.  Built by Long Island Boats of Wareham, Dorset in the 1990’s.

Large volume and stable hull built from plywood for a low maintenance and light weight hull.  She weighs only 180lbs (81kg) so is an easy boat to launch, retrieve and move around.

Stored ashore in a garage when not in use, a sound and practical little boat for enjoyable summers on the water.
