We are starting a new Joel White designed Shell back Dinghy. This 11'2" dinghy has 4'5" of beam and weighs approximately 100lbs. The Shellback pictured here was built for our client who wanted it to be in two pieces so that he could stow it on deck on a larger yacht. It clips together under the centre thwart, and the forward and aft sections float independently.
The sailing rig is a balanced lug sail on an unstayed mast. The sailing version comes with a daggerboard, rudder and tiller. Finish is gloss marine paint inside and out, with varnished mahogany in-whale and varnished mahogany seats.
This is the amidships frame of the new Shelback. The photo is of the laminated strips of wood clamped onto the jig.
