Gartside 13ft Centerboard Sailing Dinghy #90
Description
The 13ft Centerboard Sailing Dinghy Design #90 is a lightweight, high-performance open sailing boat designed by Paul Gartside as an accessible entry point for novice builders and sailors. Emphasizing simplicity and safety, it's constructed using basic plywood techniques and features integrated buoyancy tanks to prevent swamping—making it an ideal youth trainer or family daysailer for lakes, bays, or sheltered coastal areas. At just 200 lbs, it's easy to trailer, launch from a beach, or row as a tender. The design rewards with sprightly performance in light to moderate winds, tacking nimbly and planing in puffs, while remaining forgiving for learning curves.
