How to Build the Shellback Dinghy

WoodenBoat Books

PUB-9780937822272

By Eric Dow

Build this 11'2" dinghy following the step-by-step instructions of boatbuilding Eric Dow. The Shellback Dinghy is a modern classic that rows, sails, and tows beautifully. She has a traditional bow, a narrow rockered bottom, and a sweet transom that lifts well out of the water. This is engineered for the amateur builder.

If you are considering building from our kit, then read this book a time or two, and your decision will be all the easier.

If you decide to build, you will need to order boatbuilding plans. You cannot build straight from the book.
