International 12 Foot Dinghy – Lofting complete

We have recently been commissioned to build an International 12 Foot Dinghy destined for Chichester harbour.  She is to be built according to the Dutch racing rules and conforming closely to the 1913 specification for the class.  That is, clean white spruce planking with a mahogany garboard and sheerstrake.

She is to be built as light as possible to aid launching and landing.  We are confident that when complete she will be at the minimum weight allowed in the racing rules (104kg) and one of the lightest boats in the class fleet.
