The Dyer Dink is a cornerstone of American smallcraft history, representing one of the earliest and most successful applications of fiberglass in the marine industry. Built by The Anchorage, Inc. in Warren, Rhode Island, this 10foot lapstrakestyle dinghy was designed by the company’s founder, Bill Dyer, as a highcapacity tender that could be rowed, towed, or sailed with equal competence. Unlike its sibling, the Dyer Dhow, which features a hardchine flatbottom design for maximum stability, the Dink utilizes a traditional roundbilge hull form. This provides a more traditional rowing experience and a classic aesthetic that mimics traditional wooden clinker construction, while the fiberglass execution ensures longevity and reduced maintenance.
