Making the dinghy

Solar Sal Boats has made a variety of solar powered boats from 16 to 44 feet. This 6 foot dinghy is by far the smallest. This 6-foot dingy has less than 20 wooden parts and so is very different from the other wooden solar boats with many hundreds of wooden pieces. For this dinghy there was a lot of time sitting around waiting for glue, epoxy or paint to cure. Bigger boats have enough parts to keep busy on something while other pieces cure.
