About the GRUMMAN DINGHY
The Grumman Dinghy is a compact, lightweight utility vessel designed by Philip Rhodes and built by Grumman Corp/Pearson Yachts (USA) in 1959. With a build count of ? hulls, this 8.52 ft LOA dinghy weighs just 83.0 lb, reflecting its role as a tender rather than a primary cruising yacht.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for owners of larger yachts seeking a durable, easily transportable tender for coastal use or beaching. Its minimal displacement and variable keel make it ideal for single-handed launching and retrieval.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 83.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.82, this vessel is not designed for offshore bluewater passage making but serves effectively as a protected tender for coastal cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other mid-century utility dinghies and small skiffs from the same era, such as the Pearson 10 or early Grumman Man-o-War models, which share similar construction materials and intended roles as auxiliary craft.
