Stasha
Designed by Benjy
A 7 ft 2 in (2.2 m) nesting dinghy from Woodenwidget, which the designer calls the lightest nesting dinghy in the world at about 10 kg (22 lb) for the basic boat. A light wooden framework glued with epoxy is braced with diagonal Kevlar fibres and covered in heat-shrunk Dacron. The stern half nests in the bow half to make a 4 ft package, and the halves join afloat or ashore with two bolts. It carries two adults or 150 kg, takes a 3.3 hp outboard and can be sailed.
The ribs are bent with a heat gun and no section is longer than 4 ft, so it needs little space and no experience. The designer's figure is about 50 hours. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
What building a Stasha 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.
