Character Boats Lytham Pilot

The Lytham pilot is a pretty, traditional looking dinghy designed for coastal use. She can be launched with the rudder and engine in place, as they are protected by the keel making launch and recovery straightforward.

She is a sturdy boat, ideal for teaching children to sail or for the owner who wants a small but stable and forgiving craft. The boat has a well balanced sail plan. The spars are a similar length to the boat making for easy transport.

She has a stowage locker under the foredeck and an aft locker which is large enough to store the engine, its bracket and spare fuel. The engine is mounted on a removable bracket which simply slots into a base plate mounted on the transom, which is less obtrusive than a permanent bracket. Oars are stowed along the side seating leaving the cockpit unobstructed.
