The Latest Dinghy

After my dinghy was stolen in Nanaimo this summer, I replaced it with the one above. This dinghy doesn't carry much, and needs reinforcing and raising the sides, bow and stern, so it is a "project boat", but it has potential.
This was a rowing/sailing dinghy, but didn't come with any of the sailing gear. It has a centerboard--currently plugged to avoid the constant wetting one gets on each wave when sitting on top of the centerboard trunk :).
The nice thing about it is how light it is--I can just pull it out of the water and onto the deck--launching is a matter of just sliding it quickly into the water.
