Probably the only reason the world needs yet another stitch and glue dinghy design is the spacing of the Dorade vents on the boat we just bought. Still, if your Agility / Displacement ratio has changed with time, you might want to take a look at this design. The required width at the stern has pushed the size up larger than I would like for getting it on and off the deck but the nine footer has fair capacity that we will appreciate when getting in and out of it.
In accordance with WBF policy against self-aggrandizement or profit, these plans are not for sale. If you are familiar with stitch and glue construction, everything you need to build the boat is there. It has bow and stern flotation compartments that could be stuffed with flares and survival gear on offshore passages and a flat bottom and pram bow for easy landing on beaches.
I only ask that, if anyone should build one, they let me know about it.
