LALIZAS HERCULES 220 DINGHIE

[PLEIAS]

Hallo everybody, hope you're having a nice sailing summer.
Two years ago and after being sick of repairing an old dinghie i decided to buy a new one and purchased the above mentioned.Now you think that everything is ok BUT third time i used it the reinforced patch on the tip of the cone started peeling off.OK it can happen to the best so i packed it and brought it back to the local store where i bought it and they sent it back for repairs.Being middle of August in Greece i knew it could take a while so it came back one month later.As i didn't need it i kept it in the bag untill next season where upon reopening it i found out that the seat was missing. Now the chandler replaced that with a similar one but after two years that i own the thing all the patches for oars and handles etc are beginning to peel off.Before any body starts blaming the sun i must say that i've very rarely used it and when not in use it's been kept under cover on deck.On top of that the D-ring has rusted and stained my deck.So my advice stay away from those things they're rubbish.Hope i ve saved someone from a bad puschase.

I have purchased a number of items made by Lalizas, one of which is the Lalizas Toilet which I bought just over a year ago. Always someting goes wrong with this toilet. I do not use it very much, but the pump broke, the casing cracked, the valves seized etc. I will definately replace it with another make later this season. By the way, I was born and grew up in Athens and learnt to sail in Saronicos. Good luck sailing.
