Stella Rose
Description
The Stella you're likely referring to in the context of a 7-foot dinghy is the Stella Rose, a compact, flat-bottom plywood electric/rowing boat (with optional sail rig) designed and documented by South Lakes Boat Co. (a DIY boat builder/YouTuber focused on affordable plywood projects). It's not a production sailboat or classic dinghy but a modern, home-built micro-craft (6.5 ft LOA, but often rounded to 7 ft in discussions) intended for ponds, lakes, calm bays, or sheltered waters—perfect for beginners, kids, or recreational use. The design emphasizes simplicity, low cost (~$500–$1,000 in materials for a basic build), portability (fits in most cars), and versatility (row, electric motor, or add a small sail rig).

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. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
