7 ft Clinker Pram Dinghy, Design #80

Here is real boat building in miniature. At one time the clinker pram was the ubiquitous small yacht tender and this one is a particularly sweet example. We have build a number of these over the years, modifying the design to the point where there is no improving it. A good place to start if you want to learn traditional techniques. Photos of the prams may be seen in the Custom Building Projects section.  Construction: Lapstrake on bent frames Length: 7 ft 0 in Beam: 3 ft 10 in Depth amidships: 1 ft 3 in Weight: 87 lbs Building time: 150 hrs Skill level: high Design #80: 4 sheets
