2.6m Pram
Description
The 2.6m Pram by Polish designer Radosław Werszko is a compact, wooden pram-style dinghy designed as an ultra-lightweight tender or recreational rowboat, ideal for single-person use or as a yacht tender. Part of Werszko's series of open-source, stitch-and-glue plywood designs, it emphasizes simplicity, portability, and ease of home building for beginners. Introduced on his website dinghy.pl (likely in the mid-2000s alongside other small tenders), the 2.6m Pram is the smallest in his lineup, focusing on basic utility rather than sailing performance—unlike his larger models (e.g., 3.8m Dinghy). It's primarily a rowing or motoring tender, with potential for a simple sailing rig as a customization. Plans are free and downloadable, appealing to global DIY enthusiasts, though detailed builder examples are scarce compared to larger designs.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
