14' 8" PARKER DINGHY
Built about 1945 by Linden Parker on Deer Island, New Brunswick, this
is one of the
most handsome and able dinghys produced in an area renowned for its
boatbuilding. Few
if any plans were ever made of these boats as designs were produced
from half models
or from molds and patterns passed from one builder to another. This
is an excellent,
large capacity rowing boat.
