Most of our Pram Dinghies are sold as yacht tenders, generally for storage upside down on deck. As few yachts have a completely clear span of deck measuring 4'8"x4'3", you need to be able to work out how the dinghy will fit around the various protuberances such as hatches and vents.

This pdf diagram - Pram Dinghy Dimensions - should help. But please be warned, we are boatbuilders, not artists!

Here is a description in words, which may help you to visualise the whole thing better. Going forwards from the centre, when the two sections are nested:
- The cutaways at the joining bulkheads (down to thwart level) give approximately 6" clearance above the deck when stored upside down, which is plenty for most hatches etc (even allowing partial opening of hatches when desirable).
- The combined fore/aft length of the two thwarts is approx 12". 
- In Pram dinghies without a daggerboard case, there is an empty area in the bow section, between the centre thwart and buoyancy tank, of just under 2ft long and at least 14" deep. This will clear most types of ventilator, winch, cleat etc. 
- In boats with a daggerboard case the case is central in the bow section, extending forward 10" from the thwart (approx 4" wide) into the clear area mentioned above.
- Forward of the clear area are the buoyancy tanks, giving about 2" clearance over the deck.

If you have any specific questions please do not hesitate to ask.
