Rogue
Description
The Rogue is a versatile, lightweight daysailer designed by New Zealand naval architect John Welsford (jwboatdesigns.co.nz). Introduced in the late 1980s/early 1990s, it won the Traditional Small Craft Society Beach Cruiser design competition in 1988 for its blend of classical lines, modern plywood construction, and multi-mode capability (sail, row, outboard). It's a fast, general-purpose open dinghy that's sneaky quick under sail while remaining practical for fishing, camping, exploring, or use as a yacht tender — popular among home builders for its simplicity, performance, and trailerability.

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.
