This is a 2 page study plan for Iain Oughtred's 10'2" Acorn Dinghy.
Resembling her 8' cousin more than the sleeker 12' Acorn, this chunky dinghy will be a good load carrier for her length - and she looks very, very British. Oughtred saves you from guess work by showing precisely how her planking should be lined off.
