ABSTRACT:
A small dinghy or pram having an elongated mast receiving well or slot is disclosed. The dinghy is intended to be stowed on the deck of a larger sailboat with the larger boat's mast being received in the dinghy's mast well, thus enabling the dinghy, to in effect, surround the mast and thereby effect the stowage of the dinghy on the deck of the sailboat in a manner which takes up a minimum of deck space. The inwardly extending slot may originate at the bow or stern of the dinghy or may alternately extend inwardly from either side. A removable plug is insertable into the dinghy's mast receiving well and is held therein by suitable means so that the dinghy will have its conventional bottom structure when the plug is in place. The plug may be provided with a mast step and dagger board well if desired.
