Buying a tender

[Judders]

I need to get a cheap tender to leave at the boatyad/on my mooring. Would prefer GRP to wood. Not bothered about looks, just need to get out to the mooring (not far).

Tried E-bay but nothing suitable comes up. Any ideas?

Suggest you ring round the boat yards. They usually have some wrecks going begging. Be a bit choosy though. You can end up spending more on epoxy than you did on the boat....

You're on the Hamble. Try Mike at Universal.

What do you call cheap and how big do you want it? Try the wanted Forum.

A quick browse through B&O threw this up:

buy an aluminium sea nymph if you can theyre light and bullet proof and big enough to get ALL your weekend kit in, but buy as big a dinghy as you can manage its far safer for all ,grafozz

£50 & around 6' I guess. Although I am fine now, I gave up dinghy sailing in part due to a bad back and therefore I am keen to avoid getting anything to big/heavy.

I've got a 7'6" simulated clinker GRP pram for sale but someone is half interested in it. PM me if you are interested (before the forum police tell us to move to the Wanted section /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif )for some details and pics and in the meantime I'll chase the other guy to make his mind up!
BTW it's in Ipswich and would have to be collected.

Don't bother with anyone advertising. They want too much. As has been suggested get around some boatyards and yachty clubs. Ask on your moorings. There's always something.
I bought mine 4 years ago for £50 and have just spent £4.50 on a refurb (really)

Just remember to leave the outside scruffy

and cover it over

There's a Bic tender for free (with leak) on our moorings at the moment. The proper repair kit is about £40.00
