Seagull (3.10m)

Designed as a general purpose knockabout and sized so as to get the biggest dinghy possible using just two sheets of ply for the skin, the Seagull dinghy has proved to be a good load carrier - a load of 500kg still leaves at least 150mm of freeboard. She rows easily thanks to a raised stern, and her well-flared bow and sides make her dry in choppy seas. Seagull performs nicely with low-powered (2-4hp) outboard motors, and under sail can really get up and go.
