Passagemaker Sailing Dinghy

11’7″ Passagemaker Sailing Dinghy with trailer $3,700, Boca Grande FL

This is the nesting version offered by CLC (bow section unbolts and nests in the stern for compact storage or hauling). The kit and sailing rig alone would run you $2,400 plus freight and labor to build it. CLC shows a rather optimistic estimate of 100 hours which I’m sure would result in something that floats but you probably wouldn’t want to brag about it. Even if you use their estimate of 100 hours and multiply it by the labor rate you would charge then add the cost of the kits you come out way ahead with this boat. Plus you get a trailer in the deal. Boat, sailing rig (no jib), and trailer: $3,700.  It also has a retractible motor mount for use with a small outboard or trolling motor (no motor included). Currently located in Boca Grande, FL (south of Tampa). Note: I didn’t build this particular boat but I have used it and I built CLC’s Eastport Pram, a smaller version of this design so I’m familiar with it. A solid little boat in great condition.
