Nesting Dinghies

[bluewateringrid]

I know that this is an old old subject, but does anyone know of a really good nesting dinghy design that can be built out of plywood?

David Gerr gives you the full plans for his "Nester" in his $15ish book, "The Nature of Boats". I'm getting very tempted to build one myself. It is also in a back issue of Boatbuilder from a few years ago.

Catspaw Pram from B&B Yacht Designs They have 8' and 9' nesting versions

I was thinking of scaling down the Nester, but it seems that the 8' version there would be ideal for me. There would be less brainpower required to get the right size, so I'd be less likely to screw it up.

Thanks for that, I had checked the B&B designs but never heard of David Gerr's Nester.
