I finally finished her, it’s time to sail. 4 years ago I started to design a small sailing dinghy that would fit in our car. To cut out the hull shapes and all the other components I purchased an “old skool” Maslow. I can say I learned a lot from all the failures and smoked up router bits. But in the end I got it to work. Having the Maslow allowed me to design every component as vintage looking as I desired. Next step is to see how she sails and hopefully stays together, wish me luck!**

OMG That is incredible!! What excellent work!
This was built using the original Maslow?
Woah its beautiful! Can you post a video in the water?! How are you holding the sections together?

Thanks, I will post a video if all goes well.
I use 4 bolts for each section. The bolts are fitted with knobs. The bolts pass trough aluminum pipes. They provide the alignment of the sections. The bottom bolts seal with an O-ring in the pipes, this should keep the boat watertight. The bolts screw into bolts on the other side.

Hi Anna,
As promised, a small video of my first sail.
She sails beautifully, I’m very pleased with the result. No leakes no squeaks, and pretty fast.
Kind regards SintRogers.

I also want to thank you for this incredible machine, without it I would not have been able to build this boat.
