So i spotted this tidy little dingy with Self draining cockpit and Positive floatation. Looks like a mini day sailor with small outboard.https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/golden-beach/sail-boats/fiber-glass-dailing-dinghy/1168918782
Living in hervey bay i would love to own something i could sail across to fraser with my young family..... (5&3yr olds)
I see this as an ideal thing to explore lake cotharabra not sure if it would be suitable to explore the bay with the young family.... not sure 2hp would get us through the marina entrance on a running tide either?
I had sold our windrush cat in hope of a trailer sailer but the simplicity of this dingy has me intrigued...... and the price

Its ok, i'm far from ready to attempt a fixer upper. This little dingy just had me intrigued with its light weight, simple rig, easy to store atributes and wondered if this would increase on water sailing time over a 20-25ft typical trailer sailer (that i cant really store)
A cheap fixed keel on lake macquarie sounds nice....
...... just going through sailing withdrawals....

The advertisement photos say it all, a closed waters sailing boat only.
Hervey Bay can get bloody rough, I wouldn't like to be caught out there in one of these with young kids onboard.
That is beautiful and one of the best reasons to own a trailer sailer.
Looks like you had a Compass Careel get together there.
you guys must have had fun getting past the rangers station im flat out sailing my dingy into there
