Wooden Ships Comments on this Ian Oughtred Acorn 12
The Ian Oughtred Acorn 12 dinghy was designed as a lightweight rowing skiff, able to take a small rig if desired, that could be easily built by a competent amateur. The design has proved hugely successful and they are an extremely pretty, fast and easily rowed boat that is stable enough for several people. Acorns have been used as tenders on larger yachts but are just as at home being a family boat moved around on the roof rack of the estate car.
This example was built by a retired gentleman in Devon purely for the enjoyment of the build. She was sold soon after to the current owner who has used her for rowing mainly on the River Dart. with a nice road trailer and combination launching trolley she is a simple boat to launch and retrieve and a delight to row.
In almost as new condition with a very good trailer and all over cover, this is a complete package ready to go afloat and enjoy the water.
