Dingies are small utility boats. They come in various shapes and lengths, and have been in common use around the world for hundreds of years. This model is an Amesbury Style Skiff, a type of Dinghy designed for use as a yacht tender. It is easily built using the same parts and techniques as the full-size boat. It makes an excellent first project for those interested in small boat construction. Model kit hull construction: Die-cut Lapstrake Planking.
