Junior - All Purpose Dinghy - By William D. Jackson. Junior is a type of boat usually known as a yacht dinghy, but there the comparison ends. Yacht dinghys are notoriously cranky and hard to row, but Junior is of such ample dimensions and so carefully designed that it rows quite easily, carries three and even four adults, propels well with small outboard motors, and could even be sailed, if fitted out with simple sailing equipment. Last but not least. Junior makes an excellent car top boat for fishing or hunting anywhere, since it is lightweight, leakproof and easily handled afloat or ashore.
