I was finally able to squeeze enough time out of my schedule to get the parts cut out for the Cabrillo Dinghy design. Things have been hectic around here ever since the start of the new year. There are something like 6 boats under construction right now in some very interesting locations around the world.

Phase 2 Design StudyI’ve shown the Cabrillo Skiff at a couple of well trafficked Internet boating Fora now (Boatdesign.net and Sailing Anarchy’s Dinghy Anarchy Forum) and have had a host of comments to digest. Along with those comments, I have cooked up a few changes of my own for the design. The boat shown in the following renderings represents the collected enhancements, if you will, for the Cabrillo Kid’s Skiff concept.
I have widened the aft side decks just a bit. While the changes are not really very radical, they are wider. I figure that most of this will be addressed by each individual sailor as they tweak their boats to suit their own preferences. I’ll probably see a nice use of adhesive backed neoprene, or maybe even some color keyed, indoor/outdoor carpeting along the rails, as the boats are modified for best comfort and rail edge radius.

Recently, a design brief appeared on the Dinghy Anarchy Forum pages of Sailing Anarchy. Within that first post, the following objective elements were shown: Dinghy Anarchy Thread
I responded to this Brief by posting a couple of renderings for a small kid’s skiff which I had drawn-up some time earlier and had left on the shelf in favor of other projects. The Sailing Anarchy posting gave me a chance to unveil the new boat, but the story about its creation started much earlier…. much earlier.
