Stornoway 14
Description
The Stornoway 14 is a 14‑foot traditional rowing/sailing dinghy inspired by classic Scottish fishing boats, designed by François Vivier and offered as plans by Vivier Boats since the 2010s. Intended as a versatile tender or daysailer, it has been built in dozens worldwide by amateur craftsmen. The design features lapstrake plywood construction (6 strakes), a balanced lug rig, narrow beam for speed through water, and exceptional rowing qualities. Known for elegant lines, stability, and seaworthiness, the Stornoway serves as a yacht tender, beach launch, or solo explorer with capacity for 4 adults. Vivier's meticulous detailing ensures both beauty and performance.

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.
