After some long intervals of inactivity, the anticipation of a short cruise finally motivatied me to get this dinghy finished enough to be usable under oars. Here are a couple of photos of it tethered to the mother ship at a mooring.
Here is a photo of it stowed on the foredeck.
So far, I've only rowed myself around in it. It rows nicely, is reasonably stable and draws lots of compliments. As Justin predicted, it could use a plug for the centerboard trunk and I think I will also add some type of drain valve arrangement for towing. I'm still scrounging around for an inexpensive used rig from an Opti, Walker Bay 8 or the like so I can go sailing too.
