Designed as a tender for Buttercup, a 26’ Lungstrom-rigged cruiser kept on an exposed mooring, the compact Buttercup dinghy needed to regularly deal with a nasty chop and handle landing duties on an exposed beach. It excels on both accounts. A further requirement was that it tow well and here again the flared bow and sloping sides enable it to tow dry.
