Dancer A 12' 1" Flat-Bottom Outboard Skiff By William Atkin
Attractive and Easily Built Tender Which Will Prove Ideal for the Cruiser With an Outboard Engine
Dancer is a 12 foot dink. She is, to be exact, 12 feet 1 inch in length over all; has a beam of 3 feet 9 inches; and draws when light just 4 inches of water. The freeboard at the stem is 1 foot 6 inches, at the stern 1 foot 2 inches, while the least freeboard is 11 inches. It will be seen thus that she is an able kind of boat and should be equal to carrying three passengers in perfect safety. The beam has been kept under 4 feet because this feature will make the boat easy to row, as it permits easy lines and eliminates considerable weight as well.
Having had a skiff built very much like the one shown in the design herewith I can vouch for the performance of Dancer if she is used with an outboard motor, for a little motor of the twin cylinder type will propel the boat at a speed of over 7 miles an hour, which is rather faster than the majority of small boats of her kind.
