    I looked around and couldn't find any better place here to put this question, so here goes:

    What do people suggest as a tender for a classic style yacht?

    Whitehall, Catalina Wherry, Banks Dory, etc..... I'm looking for real advice and might build might buy; but I probably won't design it.

    Thoughts?

    Look at the FEATHER CRAFT site.

    These light early aluminum boats ,The Deluxe Runabout , and some others are very stylish , great tumblehome , and very inexpensive.

    The old shiney "streamliner" trains are very captivating , so there is no reason that a classic launch needs to be wood.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the leads so far. My friend and I need to lift whatever we get aboard our low-freeboard sloop so I'm afraid a powered tender won't do. Also, I really hate gasoline aboard a boat; so, I'm trying for oars and sails.

    A 14 ft or thereabouts dory, with an outboard well, oars, and sprit or lugsaill. Fit it with a 2 hp four stroke. Good seaboat as well, in case ya gotta sail it home.

    If you want classic, you can restore or commission something like this one, which is a tender to a vintage Monk.

    If you are lifting it aboard you want a lightweight plywood or cedar planked boat with minimal framing.......Kits for lapstrake ply tenders are available by mailorder from WoodenBoat and Chesapeake Light Craft....

    Or you could choose to support traditional wooden boat building by commissioning or buying from one of the boatbuilding schools......The Arques school is local.......

    Also the NW School up in Washington......

    Beautiful!!

    This 1932 beauty is lovely. What's it called? What's its LOA? I was thinking that as a tender it would be perfect. Although I might paint the lower 1/2 of the outside of the hull to match the sloop. That does, however, seem a crime to commit.

    Edwin Monk's How to Build Wooden Boats: With 16 Small-Boat Designs, published in 1946, has plans for a beautiful 9' x 4' pram which will carry up to four people. He named it 'Stubby,' which is an injustice; it's quite a graceful little thing.

    I redrew it two feet longer for my nephew a few years ago, and there were no particular problems in the build. As a matter of fact, the constant-angle vee-bottom made it easy to substitute plywood for the bottom.

    edit: Monk's book is available through google books, and the plans themselves can be seen in this preview (along with a photo of the prototype):
