SHELLBACK DINGHY

It would be hard to imagine a better all-around small boat than the Joel White-designed Shellback Dinghy.  She is a pleasure to row, fast and responsive under sail, and docile and well-mannered under tow.  She is easy to build and maintain. Small enough to handle in and out of the water but big enough to handle a load.  Lastly, she looks great.  A touch of dory construction, a touch of faering flair.  Intended capacity is 1-3 adults.

Shellback dinghy specs: Length 11’2″, Beam 4’5″, weight 100 lbs, Sail area 54 sq. ft.

A larger version, the 12′ 10″ Pooduck skiff, can provide additional space and handle rougher weather.
