Description

Dinghy Sail/Row/Motor 11’7” w Trailer

Chesapeake Light Craft Passagemaker Take-Apart with Sails, Oars and Trailer.

Okoume Marine Mahogany varnished plywood. Fiberglass overlay on deck.

This beautiful Norwegian-style pram weighs only 90 pounds yet offers a 650 pound payload, enough to ferry three adults and their gear under oars or outboard power.

With a 650-pound payload, the Passagemaker can haul the entire crew in one go,. The sailing rig components store flat inside the 11'7" hull; fasten three shrouds and the mainsheet, hoist up the mainsail and jib, and you've got a fast, fun, stable sailing dinghy that will please even the most ardent and discriminating sailing enthusiast.

If you have a long harbor to cross, a 2, 3, or 4 horsepower outboard will drive the Passagemaker to harbor speed limits and beyond. Transom height is 15 inches, sized for short-shaft outboards. An electric outboard for fishing lakes will work great, too. You'll be delighted to discover how well the Passagemaker rows: there's plenty of rocker for low wetted surface and the transom won't drag in the water to slow you down.

This boat is a “Take-Apart” but has not been cut, yet, but can easily be done. Take-aparts or "nesting" dinghies can be disassembled to take up less space when stored on the deck of a trawler or sailing yacht. The Passagemaker Take-Apart front 45" unbolts and stows in the rear 93".
