Nesting Dinghy
« on: July 28, 2025, 12:55:17 PM »
Anyone build their own nesting dinghy? Was thinking of building a Spindrift 10 or 11N to keep up on deck.
If anyone keeps a nesting or non nesting dinghy on the fore-deck, do you have any trouble getting it on and off the boat? Is there anything I should be considering?
Any other designs people are happy with?
I don't necessarily plan on sailing the dinghy, will probably just have a 2-4 HP motor and oars for back up. Needs to hold me, the wife and dog some gear and possibly two electric bikes. So something with about 6-800 lbs capacity.

Also if anyone here has built a dinghy in the Chesapeake area, did you have any trouble getting it registered and titled?
