R1 - Kevdec

Owner

Declan Moynihan

Provenance

Believed to be the first of the glued plywood clinker dinghies, launched by 1962. Remains under ownership of the Moynihan family and now in hands of Declan Moyhihan. R1 is similar to Andrew Cockburn’s boat 🔗. Both have the Helga style hanging thwarts with laminated ends. They have side seats that extend forward to the mast thwart and, of course, both are Bermudan rigged.
