Nutshell Pram dinghy free to a good home

I have an 8' Nutshell Pram that needs a new home. I built it in 2008-2009. It's been in the water twice. I originally thought I might do some cruising in retirement but that hasn't happened. It's free to someone who will use it.
I'm in Newnan GA, just south of Atlanta.

Yes. Mast, sails, and oars. Not the people.

Indeed!

Which version is yours, Healiac - the original 7'-6", or the 9'-6" long?
A nice article, on the boat ➥ https://smallboatsmonthly.com/article/nutshell/

I built the 7'6" version. I didn't want to scarf the plywood. It was fun to build. And an excuse to buy a band saw.

Re: Nutshell Pram dinghy free to a good home

I built a dink very similar to that, overall length just short of 8'. as it was constructed from an 8' sheet of plywood. It was my first "boat building " experience.

Two people could get into it....if...the water was smooth, and the occupants weren't....um...overall heavy.

For my purposes, it was not very suitable, so I sold it. But I had fun building it.
