2020 Nesting dinghy with Oars and Oarlocks (Ozona X pram)
See all ads from s/v Hope
$1900 OBO
Description
We finished building this pram in May 2020 and we were able to use it for one cruising season in Florida (March-July 2021).We're moving overseas and it sadly would be too expensive to ship, so we're letting her go. We're located at a marina on the Ortega River, so you can take her out for a test ride.
The total build took about 130 hours over several weeks and the total cost was about $3000 (that's $1400 for the pram kit and $1600 for additional supplies for finishes, parts, storage space, oars, etc.). The basic kit alone costs $1600 now.
You can row, sail, and motor this dinghy!
The boat designer, JF Bedard, has received awards for his boat designs.
Built from durable marine-grade wood, this nesting dinghy rows exceptionally well. Sail parts can be made or bought separately--see info below. The pram also handles an outboard just fine (we used a 2-stroke and later an electric motor).
We share the entire build process of this nesting pram here: https://www.youtube.com/c/WayfindersNow/videos (4-part videos)
Specs:
• Length overall: 10ft
• Draft: 6in.
• Displacement: 565lb
• Beam: 4.1ft
• Smaller footprint: The seats are removable to reduce nesting size to 62?x50?x21? with each half weighing less than 50lb.
What's included with purchase:
• Dinghy hull, centerboard and rudder
• Flat Blade Spruce Oars and Leather Collars (made by Chesapeake Light Craft, orig. $230)
• Oarlocks (MARINE CITY 316 Stainless-Steel, orig.$50)
*Sailing rig sold separately by Bedard Yacht Design (bedardyachtdesign.com).
The bottom has usual wear and tear, but overall, it's in excellent condition and will last for many years to come.
Pram stows nicely on the foredeck of our Island Packet 35. We also were considering re-routing our mainsheet lines as the pram would nest perfectly under the boom if the turning block in front of the traveler was moved, and if we installed a soft vang. Stowing it sideways, as pictured, was a bit difficult for my wife to see around but is also an option.
We're located a marina on the Ortega River, so you're welcome to take it for a test spin. :)
