The Norfolk Urchin is a 13-foot traditional-style sailing dinghy designed by naval architect Andrew Wolstenholme and originally brought to production by Charlie Ward of Norfolk Boat Works. Now built by Neil Thompson Boats, the Urchin was conceived as a smaller sibling to the 17-foot Norfolk Oyster, intended to provide a similar aesthetic and sea-kindly nature in a package light enough to be handled by a small crew or solo sailor. Constructed with a GRP hull featuring a simulated clinker finish, the boat marries the visual appeal of a classic wooden dinghy with the reduced maintenance of modern composites. Its design serves a dual purpose as both a high-quality cruising dinghy and a prestige tender for larger yachts.
