This lightweight dinghy from British designer lan Oughtred is built in a modern way using a fiberglass hull but with a touch of tradition on all trims and details in teak and Australian red cedar.

It serves well as a tender or as a DaySailer and is quite stable and able to carry a good load.

The lap strake shape hull, an Oughtred specialty, makes it very seaworthy and salty looking.
