If you're short on space and need a small dinghy then you've come to the right place! If easy storage, light weight, stability and the ability to row, motor or sail is high on your list of priorities look no further.

All our dinghies are specifically designed to be inexpensively built from easy to find materials. Our step by step illustrated instructions simplify the building process so that anyone can easily build themselves a great little boat.

The Origami folding dinghy comes in 6 and 8 foot versions. Weighs from as little as 15 kilos (33lbs) and folds to just a few inches in moments. Takes an engine, rows well and also sails. Easy to build.

The Stasha nesting dinghy is the latest addition to the family. This is the World's lightest nesting dinghy. The basic boat weighs about 10 kilos (22lbs) making it child's play to move it about and launch.

Unusually the rear section fits inside the front section for stowage. This layout gives maximum interior volume, great stability and perfect weight distribution when rowing.

A delight to row and great fun to sail. The only thing this boat is lacking is weight. Very easy to build and because it's made from so few materials it doesn't cost much to make.

The Deckster is the boat with a hole in it! This is the hard dinghy solution for those who are spatially challenged. What makes the Deckster different is the removable front panel which allows the Deckster to be stowed on deck and around a mast.

Like all our designs, the Deckster is stable, rows well, takes an engine and sails. But the Deckster does more, it can also use the revolutionary Hobie Mirage drive. Face forwards and keep your hands free. To learn more about any of our designs or our plans, please click on any of the images.
