Morbic 12
Designed by François Vivier
Morbic 12 is a 3.67 m classic dinghy with a 1.55 m beam, designed to work three ways: as a sailing dinghy for one to three with a balanced lug, as a sail and oar boat with two rowing thwarts, and as a simple motorboat with a short-shaft outboard on her wide transom.
She is built in clinker plywood, and François Vivier says a first-time home builder can build her from the plan only. The bottom is flat for easy hauling up a beach, the centerboard pivots and can be removed, and large side tanks give buoyancy. Kits are sold through his partners, and the designer reports that more than 120 have been built.
What building a Morbic 12 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.
