10' Classic Dinghy

11/04/2003

Hey John!

This is the 10ft Classic Dinghy I started this Summer in Indiana and finished in October in Maryland. That is my Son-in-Law in the yellow sweatshirt helping me get her in the water. Lots of fun building and lots of time out in building due to organizing and executing a move to Maryland. Wish I had built a bigger boat, so....next up the 15ft Power Dinghy. By the way, the cost of my 10 footer was $780...I gave up "working" 17 years ago. Have pics of the little one in progress, if you are interested.

Best regards,

Jim Gardner
