IN THE SAILING CLUB I HAVE A STORAGE RACK (SPACE) 1.37m X .71m
a laser heron spiral mirror sharpie are all minimum width 1.4m thus locating a sailing craft is hard.
A Topper would fit however I want a dingy I can take youngsters in so than can become familiar with sailing.
I can go to fifteen feet length.
Is there a building plan that fits my rack dimensions?
The shape will be very narrow lacking beam of heron and higher topsides of other designs
thus I want a dry sea kindly vessel but lack the beam to length ratio.
The water where it will sail is facing the Pacific inside Sydney harbour heads.
Ability to work off a lee shore is vital as the sailing area is a rocky shore with a huge bombora that sucks craft in.
not speed though excessive narrow beam to length sea kindly characteristics.
Another feature is light weight so can be moved from the water up a ramp into the club storage shed.
Thinking cat rig, shrouds running not stationary also low aspect gaff wishbone rig.
welcome thoughts

Maybe you can tilt it a little to get a slight increase in width ?

thanks
.70m height of rack with boat above and on either side
no access to the rear a dog can walk through though to tilt a vessel and slide it in
is difficult possibly a sheet of plywood.
appreciate you suggestion
guess will find a plan and adapt to the restrictive space.
very grateful to have storage near the water,
like houses with a view they're scarce and expensive.

There would be plenty of disassembled multihulls that would fit, if you were prepared to have a lengthier rigging time than with a mono.
