Portuguese Dinghy Float Test - Hannu's Boatyard Plan

Описание: A little float test to see how this little ( 6 ft.) boat reacted to crew weight. Here my friend at 210 pounds and 42 pounds of actual boat weight give an indication of its load carrying capacity. We also tested with two people at 450 pounds without incident.
Shown here in its unfinished form. Missing oarlocks, rub rail, rear seat, final fiberglassing and paint.

Please see sailing video .. at the end you'll see the finished dinghy bing towed at 4.5 kts. HERE:    • Catalina 22 in Chester River, MD in 12 Kts...
