Has anone seen this dinghy (or dinghy kit?) from WA before? It looks like it'd be a reasonable little tender for my H28 but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Is it kit from the States? I haven't tried to contact the vendor yet but am about to.

I'm not after a dinghy to build but wouldn't mind a nice little wooden car topper for my tender and a bit of rowing with the missus on the lake.

Nice pictures but no info .How long is it ? Have you contacted the seller ?

It would perhaps be a little tempting tied to a jetty ?

I've sent them a message asking for a bit more info and what is actually included in the fixed price - a completed dinghy or a kit? The only indication of the size is in one of the photos on the side with it in the water. It's also in WA so a bit far away, which is why I'm wondering if it might possibly be a kit being imported from the States. I'm not sure why I get that impression but there's a photo of a whole stack of kits ready for construction.
And I don't want to build one - I've got a few too many projects waiting at home as it is.

Well there you go, just as I sent that last one I got this message back from them:

The $1500 is for a complete finished dinghy ready to put in the water. A KIT will cost you $500 and the satisfaction of building it yourself is worth the saving the extra money.
Its alot of fun, if your in Perth we guarantee you a finished product. If your not we supply all the support you will need to finish this project.
The whole idea behind this consept was to enjoy building this craft by yourself.

'Any forumites over there in Perth had a look at these? Maybe at a boatshow or something?
