Description

I have a Sam Devlin designed 10' plywood dinghy "kit" designed for stitch & glue construction. I had intended to use the boat as a dinghy for our small sailboat, but changed my mind. The boat is called the Bella 10. This looks to be a very clever, handy dinghy that rows well. Check out the designer's website info here: http://store.devlinboat.com/Bella10.aspx. The first photo is a photo of a class building this boat. I found it on the web. The other image is the parts I've got.

Almost all of the parts and supplies you would need are included including:

  • Plans and license to build (digital)
  • 6mm Okoume marine plywood sides and bottom
  • 12mm Meranti marine plywood seats & transom
  • 1.5 gallons of MAS epoxy with pump set -MAS wood flour and colloidal silica fillers
  • Douglas Fir gunnels (4 pieces, inner and outer) -A roll of 3" fiberglass tape

To complete the boat you will need:

  • FG cloth for the bottom
  • Oars and oarlocks (I intended to make the oars from scrap plywood and closet rod
  • Paint and/or varnish
  • Wire or wire ties
  • Disposable gloves, etc. for working with epoxy (BTW, epoxy has no appreciable odor so working in confined spaces isn't like working with "regular" polyester fiberglass resin that is so stinky)

I'm an experienced boat builder and can walk you thru the construction. It's surprisingly easy and fun. It would be a great parent/child project, or maybe a husband/spouse project if you have a solid marriage. ;>)
