Two Paw

Description

The Two-Paw is a compact, nesting pram dinghy designed by Graham Byrnes of B&B Yacht Designs, ideal as a tender for larger sailboats or a standalone recreational row/sail dinghy for one or two people. It's essentially a variant of the popular Catspaw pram series, specifically optimized for nesting (splitting into two sections for compact storage on deck or in a garage). Named as a "two-paw" to evoke the Catspaw's feline theme, it's built for shallow-water use, easy trailering, and light sailing. First introduced around 2006, it's a kit or plans-built wooden composite boat that's affordable, portable, and versatile for coastal or lake cruising. While not a high-performance racer like the 29er or 49er, it's a practical "working dinghy" for getting ashore, fishing, or casual sailing, with the ability to carry an outboard motor.

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.
