1937 Old Town Sailing Dinghy, 11.5', original except for new round-the-boat cotton bumper-rope. Has gunther sloop rig with stayed mast and jib set flying. Centerboard. Has been in steady use at a family camp for recent summers, now replaced by a roomier sailing dory. Seats, decks and rails solid mahogany. Two rowing positions. This kind of dinghy was typically used as a tender for a large power yacht and would have been hoisted aboard on stern davits, it advantage being that its canvas=covered wooden canoe construction meant it was relatively light and always watertight, with no need to keep its seams soaked up. We have enjoyed it as the family sailboat on an Adirondack lake, quickly rigged and simple, far pleasanter for our gusty, irregular winds than any racing type of sailboat. (The mistake most would-be Adirondack sailors make is to use hotter, planing sailboats designed for racing, instead of more wholesome conservative craft such as this.
