The Norfolk Urchin is a 13foot traditionalstyle 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 17foot Norfolk Oyster, intended to provide a similar aesthetic and seakindly 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 highquality cruising dinghy and a prestige tender for larger yachts.
