Duo motoring

Duo dinghy is seen here motoring at 7.5 knots (on the gps) with a 2.5hp outboard. Obviously this is pushing the design envelope, as it was never intended to be a planing boat. You can also see why "Dinghydogs" will be a better option than the inflatable beach rollers I am using. They are profiled and tapered so there will be less spray. With two on board the Duo does 5.1-5.3 knots The Duo dinghy is a 2 sheet plywood rowing/sailing dinghy you can build yourself from plans by Woods Designs For more details see http://sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs/1-beach-cats-and-dinghies-/420-duo-10ft-sailrow-dinghy
