Hi folks

Billy, our faithful dinghy of 20 years, has finally had it and we need to find a replacement quickly. Does anyone know of somewhere in Croatia or Montenegro where we can find a reasonably priced new one or second hand? We are looking for 2.5 - 3.5m.

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer.

If you don't mind it being a bit patched then at beginning and end of the season (might be ok mid season but I PM not sure ), the best bet is turn up at a Sunsail base and watch for where the guys eat and drink.

They are always "retiring" Ribs for virtually nothing to their teams who then patch them and make a little money selling them on. Our 3m with patches is still fine after 3 years use, with the guy we bought it off promising to repatch it for free as long as we were at his marina base. We haven't needed to.
