try the pram and 'simplicity' designs at "bandbyachtdesigns" dot com, based in North Carolina. I built their simp 9footer. Nesting designs from 8 to 12 feet. I also modified it to make it a canoe stern to fit my foredeck. A better joining method is to be found at pbase.com / sailrosita

Re: sailrosita
The B & B designs do look rather nice, and well thought out.
As Lake Sailor suggested in another thread re ply/epoxy dinghies, have a look also at the Passagemaker 2 part nesting dinghy on the Fyne Boats site at :

And if you just do a Google search for nesting dinghies, lots of interesting websites come up.

Here are a few more links re Danny Greene, who has designed some very neat 2 (and 3) part nesting dinghies.
The first one is about building a Chameleon at http://www.sailorgirl.com/s/v303_robbie.htm.
After seeing a small outline sketch of Chameleon in Cruising World, I designed and built my own smaller (7' 6") version of this 8 years ago - she rows well, although I think Chameleon is a far better boat any day.
Here is another link to Chameleon : http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/04/s/designs/greene/cham/index.cfm
While here is a chap who scaled down his Chameleon, and gives the procedure for doing so: http://www.yachtvalhalla.net/gecko/gecko.html
Please note I have no connection with Danny Greene - just respect and admiration for his dinghy designs.

I built the B&B 8' TwoPaw praam design - no real problems except ones of my own making. I built it with a bow tank/seat to give some bouyancy but made it too high which means the oars touch my thighs when rowing from the forward position (2 up) in rough water.
If I built another I'd make two stern quarter tanks to support the stern seat but still allow space for the bow section to sit into the rear hull. Supports for the mid thwart should be fitted to the bow section to give a more stable seat. I'd also try the suggested mod for joining the two parts. The M6 bolts are fiddley to insert and weep a bit.
The boat rows very well, is light and packs into a 4'x4'x15" 'lump'

F R E E plans for a nesting dingy are in Dave Gerr's The Nature of Boats.
International Marine
This excellent book is a discourse on sail and power boats for the nautically obsessed.
"If you are not nautically obsessed prior to readingthis book, you will most certainly be afterwards " Sailing
A good read and an excellent Christmas present ...
The nestging dingy page is super and ends up at the length of a Mirror dingy but in 2 parts! So many yachts have a 7 foot dingy when they couldhave a 11 foot singy that really sails too.
Perhaps when the 37 footer is finally finished with the cupboard door and teak cabin sole installed, this spring, it wil be time to use Dave Gerr's design and build an aluminium version with floation and Mirror sails.
