Hi Folks Your M10 discussion has got me thinking about another, somewhat similar production dinghy that I used once. I never learned the builder, but I'l LOVE to be able to figure out who made this dinghy. It was after Hurricane Hugo. Our marina got wiped out... all the docks were gone. While they were rebuilding, all the liveaboards stayed on the hook... there were about 8-9 boats. One of the larger, more "adequately capitalized" boats decided that their current dinghy was too small for daily service, so they went out four days after the storm and bought a brand-new Boston Whaler with a 20hp outboard, and they let me borrow their little dink for two months. Unfortunately, they didn't know who the builder was... it came with their boat when they bought it. Anyway, this little boat was a real gem. It was, I believe, around nine feet long, (though I suppose it could have been ten) single-skin fiberglass. It had smooth, nicely rounded sides (not a lapstrake) and the bottom was mostly flat. Had perhaps a four-foot beam, fiberglass seats, and a little teak trim. It was very stable, and with a 2hp outboard and just me, it would absolutely fly across the water. It tended to skid sideways a little in turns. I didn't row it much, but I think it tracked OK under oars. If I remember it correctly, I believe there was a sailing kit available as an option, but the owners didn't have it. It was a few years old at the time, and this was about 1990. Can you think of a builder that might match that rather sketchy description? It was a really cool little boat, and if I could find the name, I'd love to hunt one up to restore, as much for nostalgia as anything else... though it would be a nice boat to have. I very often mentally kick myself for not measuring it or taking any photos. Best Brian Gilbert Author, Fix It And Sail, the Complete Trailer-Sailer
