Build as a school project which actually has some use after achieving your passing grade. Built-in flotation compartments and a simple sail plan make them great for learning to sail, whatever your age. Hard copy only for the Dixi Dinghy. The Dixi Dinghy can be built in aluminum by those who have the skills. Please specify aluminum in your order to receive this version.
Additional plywood is required to make up the rudder and daggerboard.
The rig is free standing, supported at keel and bow thwart and is easily stepped. The mast is in two interlocking pieces and the sail is sleeve luffed and loose footed. All rig parts stow within the hull. As a sailing fun boat she is highly manoeuvreable and nippy with an adult or two children. As a tender she will comfortably carry four adults and gear in calm water.
