The New Cormorant Dinghy Written by designer Roger Dongray The concept for the New Cormorant was that the boat be designed for home construction from a very comprehensive kit of router cut marine plywood parts complete with Douglas Fir stringers, gunwhales and spars, ash tiller, stainless steel purpose made fittings and rigging with sails by S.K.B Sails. As a bit of background history - I designed the original Cormorant for Cornish Crabbers Ltd as part of their range of traditional G.R.P sailing boats back in 1983. Although it was built for many years it was eventually dropped from production due to its fairly expensive construction involving several G.R.P mouldings. However it was an extremely popular boat and many are still sailing.
