Gosling 10

One of Sam's customer who had a larger cruising boat needed a dinghy that could handle four adults, the family dog, gear, a powerful outboard, and still offer a rowing option. That’s a tall order for a compact design! In response, Sam created the Gosling 10.

Built for versatility, the Gosling 10 is the ideal tender: Rugged, stable, and capable of carrying heavy loads with ease. Whether you need a towable boat for fishing, a reliable skiff for beach landings, or a multi-purpose workhorse for various on-the-water adventures, the Gosling 10 delivers. With its smart design and adaptability, this skiff is ready to take on the world. 

Kits for Devlin designs include traditional boat plans, and assume that builders are familiar with wood-epoxy boatbuilding and are comfortable working from drawings.
