History
This collapsible car-top dinghy/tender was designed by Barry Bucknell, whose DIY fame is reflected in some of the vessel’s simple but effective fittings. It has folding fabric sides on a pram GRP hull. The Museum example was built from a kit by Mr Lane and presented to NMM by his wife Mrs Kate Lane in 1988. October 2007
