Argie 15 in Zurich Basil is painting


Yes, also he has added some very nice none slip as well.



Hi Roy

I have just finished painting the inside of the hull. For more comfort I glued in a anti slip mat.

Now I will begin to paint the outside of the boat.

Have a good time and a happy new year,

Basil




We supplied the North Sails and Ronstan deck package to this boat which included the round inspection hatches, We can also do similar plastic rectangular hatches.


Exporting world wide is possible.



This Argie 15 is in Zurich, Switzerland and is for sale, please contact me for the sellers details.

The Dixi Dinghy and Argie 10


The Dixi Dinghy is our smallest and lowest priced sail boat as it can be cut from just two sheets of 6mm plywood.


Leslie Koen with his Dixi Dinghy in Namibia. He named her "Red John" after the bad guy in the TV show "The Mentalist".



We can offer the sails from North Sails, plus a Ronstan deck gear kit  as well.

Two great dinghies, these little boats offer lots of fun for the whole family.

Multi-purpose, they can be rowed, motored or sailed and are light enough for one person to lift on and off the family car or yacht.

The Argie 10 requires three sheets of 6mm plywood so is quite a lot larger than the Dixi Dingy.



This beautiful Argie 10 was built by Desmore Kaempffer in Namibia, as a yacht tender. She was a first time boat building project. The results speak for themselves.



Simple stitch and glue construction, they can be built with the minimum of tools, no previous boatbuilding experience and in very little space.

Step-by-step instructions included in plywood plans.

The profile when viewed from above is similar in shape with both designs.




Either one can be the ideal quality time project for a youngster with Dad's assistance or Dad with Junior's help.

Build as a school project which actually has some use after achieving your passing grade.
Practical winter project, build one for fishing on your local pond, as junior's "my boat" or as a tender to your big boat.

Built-in flotation compartments and a simple sail plan make them great for learning to sail, whatever your age.

We can supply you with the plans or a plywood kit cut to size on a CNC machine, we also offer epoxy, glass tapes and filler powders ex stock.

Guys Argie 10 kit is painted!


We sent Guy an Argie 10 kit a while back, he has reached the stage where its painted and just requires some varnish.


The deep blue does look nice but remember to cover the dark surface up, it attracts a lot of heat from the sun.



Hi Roy – I've attached one photo of the inside and one of the outside – each one coat of paint away from completion.  Still have to do the varnish work but that she not take too long.  Loads of mistakes made but I'm not unhappy with the outcome.

It looks fine to me!
