It’s one of the most highly-regarded dinghies anywhere and it’s made right here in Rhode Island: The Dyer Midget 7-11, built at The Anchorage in Warren.

For over 70 years Dyer Dinghies have set the standard and the 7-11 is the most popular size in the line. This is the convertible model, which features, along with standard bronze fittings including oarlocks in two positions, a mast socket, daggerboard trunk and rudder mount. That way, if you decide to sail it, Dyer offers a kit making the changeover to sailing a snap!

This boat is light enough for one person to haul on deck and great for an afternoon on the millpond or taking along as you circle the globe. The Dyer Midget easily handles three adults, extra duffles - even the dog!
