Roamer Dinghy ‘Laputa’







If you want to see a bit of craftsmanship in a boat, have a look at Whizzkiddzz’s YouTube Video which has an assembly of photos taken during the building of a Roamer Dinghy. The video also features a song, ‘Jesus was a Cross Maker’, written by Judee Sill. (See link below)


Whizzkiddzz is actually Andrew Guest who was in contact with me when he built ‘Laputa’.


Andrew knew that I had owned the Roamer ‘Harriott’ and he wanted details of my boat so that he could copy some of her features, notably the tabernacle and rigging arrangements. He sent me photos of his dinghy for publishing at my old Small Sailboats website; three of them are reproduced here.
