A month or two ago, I saw a sailboat on my lake and was overcome with jealousy. I started looking at boats in the Internet and I saw some little wooden sailboats that could be sailed or rowed. You could even mount a little motor on some of them.
I couldn't find anything like them for sale. Apparently if you wanted one, you had to build it yourself, so that is what I have set out to do. I ordered the Passagemaker Dingy kit from Chesapeake Light Craft. I chose it because it seemed to be so well supported online with other people's blogs and a forum for boat builders, it has the payload capacity to accommodate me and one or two of my heavier friends, and it has a lot of sail and is very light weight.
