Dinghy for rowing, sailing or motor (electric outboard included if required )
Information
This is a wooden / epoxy ‘Eastport pram’ Supplied with or without trailer, oars, sail, at no extra cost. Electric motor can be supplied for extra rental - see additional listing. ‘Bootlebumtrinket’ is pretty, light, tough, and roomy. It is just 7′ 9″ long and 48″ wide, but will hold about 375 pounds. ‘Bootlebumtrinket’ is built from 6 mm okoume using the LapStitch method so that it resembles clinker. This boat is for people who want a light boat to take to different waters and to mess about in when on holiday. The Eastport Pram is so light it is very easily put on a roof rack. (Two people). It is small enough to be carried whilst towing a caravan. Many people use inflatable boats to ferry goods and crew between the shore and their main boats. The problem with inflatable boats is that they are hard to row so inevitably noisy outboard motors are needed. The Eastport Pram is designed to overcome the problems and be light and easy to row. Oars included if required. Small tenders should be able to withstand heavy handling alongside the mothership or in the dinghy park. Planking is 6 mm okoume throughout, with three 9 mm frames and seats. There's a big, deep skeg for tracking under tow. In addition to fibreglass reinforcement on the bottom panel, there are two rubbing strips on the bottom to take the abrasion of dragging on a beach. For added safety, permanent flotation tanks are built in beneath the seats. The Eastport Pram has a deep rocker for low wetted surface and to keep the transoms from dragging. The result is a boat that is as easy and satisfying to row as you can expect on such a short waterline. Used as a tender to a larger boat, or kept at a dock, it's possible to undertake a long afternoon row around the local waters without breaking a sweat. The Eastport Pram is a remarkably stiff and strong hull that has the appearance of traditional lapstrake or clinker planking. She is fun and easy to sail using her lug sail (supplied if required) and drop down keel. With the optional sailing rig the pram makes a splendid sail trainer. Tiny responsive boats like this offer immediate feedback and give sailors tremendous confidence in their ability to predict how any boat will behave. It is often said that you will learn more about sailing in a few days in a dinghy than in years of ‘cruising’ in big boats. Many big boat sailors still get nervous sailing up to a dock or manoeuvring through a crowded harbour without an engine. These are the very skills that are improved in tiny boats. Of course, improving sailing skills is not the only reason to sail a dinghy; charging around in the Eastport Pram is simply fun.
