The Shrimp is a Canadian dinghy that was designed by Hubert Vandestadt and Fraser McGruer and first built in 1972.
[1][2] The design was built by Vandestadt and McGruer Limited in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada.
The hull design features a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard.
The Gunter rig results in three short spars which facilities storage, as well as transportation on a trailer or car roof rack.
[1] In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "a tender, rowboat, outboard, and small training dinghy, the Shrimp has an unusual gunter rig that helps in trailering or car-topping because the spars are short.
