Passagemaker Take-Apart · new build
LaunchedWith so many cruising boats carrying similar gray inflatable dinghies, I wanted something with its own character. S/V Kopelia is our personal home; her tender deserved the same care. Between November 2025 and January 2026, I built Serenity from a Chesapeake Light Craft Passagemaker Take-Apart kit. Her design is practical, too. She separates into two sections so we can stow her on deck during long passages. From the wood finish to her name sweeping across the transom, Serenity is another part of our life afloat made personal by hand.
