Tender size for 2 adults and 3 children

That was the idea behind the current blue peter. Just a bit small. I may just keep doing what I'm doing. I like the idea of the kids sailing the dingy while were at lunch etc.

I've seen a grp pram dinghy, what's the idea behind the square bow?

Idea is basically to get more dinghy in less length. The foremost 18" of a pointy dinghy isn't as much use as the next 18", so you cut off the first bit. Logical conclusion is a square dinghy, and indeed my uncle has one of these as a tender although it's not exactly very seaworthy.

In smooth water prams are generally ok, but they do get stopped by a chop that a stem dinghy would cut through.

Thanks, I suppose it wouldn't be the best option to tow behind then either.

Plenty of people do. With nobody on board, the front transom will probably ride above the water anyway.
