Pathfinder

Designed by John Welsford

The bigger Navigator that owners kept asking for: a serious cruising dinghy with full buoyancy, real stowage, a flat space to sleep on that does not need the floorboards rearranged, and room for four adults. His page carries the reasoning behind her rather than a table of dimensions.

What building a Pathfinder actually takes

Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.

If you are building one, yours becomes the reference: the page the next person building this boat finds when they search for it. One photo and one line is a valid first entry.
