If you want to get specific...how short is your 2-man sailing dinghy?

Not got a piccie yet, but ours is about 4' long, well, high actually, seeing as it's my son's bookshelf.

The 2 man one - is 14'10" or 4.52m and carries 309 square foot of sail.
Certainly not the shortest or the fastest one I've sailed - nor even the most fun ... but it suits our needs at the moment.

Ours is 7'6"

Waterline length is 12ft, but overall length is 32ft.

Can you guess what it is yet?

18' skiff ?

 

[Bobc]

Since when was an 18ft Skiff only 12ft long???

There's a clue in there somewhere...

a Fife trying Helium ballast ?

Well my boat has 35i in decals at the water line. When a berthing master asks "how long is your boat", when visiting somewhere, I always point to the decals and say 3.5 metres. It hasnt worked yet.

 

[Coaster]

Big enough, thank you.

 

[30boat]

Oh huge!

 

[Seajet]

galadriel,

if it says '35i', of course it's 35inches...

There was a discussion about this on the mobo forum recently, suddenly all those decals on the side saying ' Maximum Thrusting Dominator 11 Metre ' on 9 metre boats doesn't seem such a wizard idea.

and besides.... an 18' skiff is a 3 man dinghy, so fails to meet the criteria

They're not really trying, Bob. It is of course a 12 foot skiff. 3.7m of hull, 4.2m of bowsprit and the rudder hung on an outrigger frame off the transom. A totally lunatic boat. I wish I had one.

 

[rotrax]

In the pub its 40 feet, when paying for a berth its 35.
