I've been offered a dinghy...

I mentioned on a sailing forum that i frequent, that i was selling the Jedda and replace it with a boat which i could keep at home, and possibly build something.

Well as it turns out, a mate has offered me a Miracle dinghy.  Two conditions:

1. I go to his place and get it (which is about 3 hrs away)...pfft, i like road trips :)
2. I have to teach my kids to sail it...that'll happen!!

Apparently, it's ready to sail...but could use a little TLC first

So the first thing i did was Google "Miracle dinghy"...

Looks a brilliant little boat, capable of quite high performance sailing, and also family cruising - with the gunwale seating at the rear, and "in the cockpit" seats toward the front to keep the little-ones in the boat (and the addition of a little electric OB to get you home if need be)

And here it is...

LOA 12' 9.5" 

Beam 5' 2.5"

Looks like i've got a phone call to make at lunch time... :) 
... Stay tuned!!

I'm still planning to build the Pathfinder, but might delay it a year or so...
