Flarebow (2.24m)

The Flarebow dinghy was designed as a tender for Odtaa, a 29ft Fin Keeler. Flarebow’s distinguishing feature is its ample forward flare which enables it to cope well with the steep chop that often occurs in the vicinity of Odtaa’s swinging mooring. A wide and well-immersed transom boosts carrying capacity and improves the dinghy’s planing ability under tow or when lightly loaded under power.
