Rhum 11'6"
Description
The Rhum 11′6″ by Selway-Fisher Design is a compact, versatile sailing and rowing dinghy crafted for easy amateur construction using simple plywood stitch-and-tape techniques. Designed to be stable, lightweight, and easily driven, it performs well under both sail and oars, making it ideal for sheltered coastal or inland waters. With 11′6″ (3.5 m) length and a beam of about 4′8″ (1.4 m), it offers good carrying capacity for one to three people while remaining light enough to car top. The boat carries a simple gunter or lug rig, features a centerboard for shallow-water sailing, and is loved for its balanced mix of practicality, portability, and traditional charm.

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.
