OzRacer Mk2
Designed by Michael Storer
The OzRacer Mk2 is an 8 ft sailing dinghy built from three sheets of plywood, and the designer lists a weight of 65 lb. It is one of the simplest sailboats a home builder can take on.
Of the two OzRacers this is the one Storer says will appeal more to the experienced sailor, set up the way racing dinghies are. It is also offered as a flat pack for assembly. Beginners, and builders who want room for a second person, are pointed to the OzRacer RV instead.
What building a OzRacer Mk2 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.
