Mebo 12
Description
Klaus Metz designed the Mebo 12 to be beautiful yet practical — combining the aesthetics of premium nesting dinghies with simple amateur construction. It prioritizes versatility (sail/row/motor), easy trailering/storage, and camp-cruising capability (storage, sleeping platform, buoyancy). Many builders add custom touches like a Hobie-style roller rig or graphite bottom coatings. Plans are available directly from Metz Boats (metzboats.de). Some kit options or pre-cut plywood panels are offered through partners like Fyne Boat Kits (UK). There are numerous builder videos on YouTube showing the full build process, mast construction, furling systems, and launching.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
