Construction

Built in 2014 using traditional boatbuilding methods, the Nottage Dinghy features a clinker-built larch hull supported by oak and ash frames, creating a strong, lightweight, and durable structure. The hull's lapstrake construction provides excellent rigidity, while the varnished timber thwarts and trim highlight the quality of the craftsmanship throughout. Combining proven materials with classic design, she offers the appearance and character of a traditional wooden sailing dinghy with the benefit of more recent construction.
