Walkabout
Designed by John Welsford
A 16 ft 2 in cruising dinghy drawn for the Maine Island Trail, with a boom tent on fibreglass poles that gives real accommodation for a coastal cruise and can be left up while rowing. Carries 80 sq ft at about 92 kg on a 5 ft beam.
What building a Walkabout 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.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
