When we first decided to build Phil Bolger's dinghy "Nymph" here on The Boat
Shop we were unsure of the impact this design would have on the show. While
Bolgers designs have a certain practical appeal, they are occasionally
challenging to the eye. Even the plans could not prepare us for the growing
suprise we experienced every time a new element was added to the boat.

Plans for the NymphAs this little dinghy took shape the subtle beauty of her lines emerged. One of the restrictions of building in plywood is it's limited ability to take compound curves but, as we were to discover, this design is a pleasing blend of both form and function.

"Nymph" can be built for about $100. Now, don't be misled... she is as much
boat for the money as we've built here in the shop. She took a minium of tools
and skill to build and delivers a useful and capable dinghy at the end. Looking
for a basic fun boat? "Nymph" is a terrific bet.
