I capsized the Duo dinghy in a controlled test a couple of years ago. Here you see me capsizing it, righting it and then sailing away. You can see it is very stable, the tubes add a huge amount if extra stability and act as fenders when coming alongside, yet are not in the water in normal use. The Duo is a 2 sheet plywood dinghy that was built in 2 days. It can be rowed, sailed or motored. A nesting option is available. You can buy plans and see more details here http://sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs-2/46-beach-cats-and-dinghies/420-duo-10ft-sailrow-dinghy (this video has no audio)
Living on a sailboat is beautiful—but it’s not all sunsets and sea turtles. It’s hard work. You’re constantly fixing, cleaning, and problem-solving in tight spaces, often in bad weather. But there’s something raw and real about it—every scraped knuckle and salty shower makes you stronger. You trade comfort for freedom, and the reward is a life that’s full of challenge, adventure, and deep connection.
