7 ft Clinker Pram Dinghy, Design #80

Here is real boat building in miniature. At one time the clinker pram was the ubiquitous small yacht tender and this one is a particularly sweet example. We have build a number of these over the years, modifying the design to the point where there is no improving it. A good place to start if you want to learn traditional techniques.

Photos of the prams may be seen in the Custom Building Projects section.
