If you hate rubber dinghies then how about this for an idea

My wife, whose hatred of our rubber dinghy knows no bounds, found this

It seems like a brilliant idea

It might be easier to get a new wife.

I couldn't face that assembly routine... :-(

We've got a foldaway one. Different to that but the principle's the same. Yeh a great idea and handy at times to have the option of folding away but a right royal PITA every time you want to use it so ours is now up permanently on chocks.

Maybe you've got the wrong type of inflatable?

Kind of misses the point of a folder somewhat L

YM did a review of folding boats a couple of months ago. The well established Seahopper got good marks. However they take up a lot of space even when folded and are not as stable as an inflatable so have never really made it big in the market.

You could probably assemble one of these quicker!

Ahhh but he's so pretty, it's a shame to shove him in a bag.
