Used Tideway Dinghy Sailboats for Sale

The Tideway Dinghy stands as an enduring emblem of classic British small craft, renowned for its charm, stability, and versatility as a family cruising dinghy and club racer. Originally conceived as a "family cruising" dinghy, it evokes a "Swallows and Amazons" style charm, often sailed single-handed or with a crew of two. With a length overall of 12 feet, a beam of 5 feet, and a fiberglass and wood composite hull, the Tideway offers a delightful sailing experience rooted in traditional design. Since its inception in 1954 by L.H. Walker of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, the Tideway has been cherished for its forgiving nature and stable platform. GoodWood Boat Co., owned by Stephen Beresford, has emerged as a key builder, ensuring the continued production of these beloved wooden craft using traditional clinker-built methods and ethically sourced timber.
