Need a tender ASAP

[paul salliss]

Hi .....as above need a tender, while I would prefer a rib it won't work for us re attachment to the main boat without comprises so in summary need something with an inflatable keel, needs to be between 2.3M and 2.5m, Honwave was my go to but nothing in stock. Any other suggestions other than Zodiac would be very welcome

Waveline are decent, I got a 2.7 air deck for over £100 less than anywhere else from Marine Store General Chandlery and Marine Gear

I don’t know what the situation is like now but when I got mine a couple of months ago the importers were struggling to get stock due to Covid shutdowns in China and shipping problems. Mine came pretty much straight off the boat.

Similar requirements to my self but I would prefer to give my support to a more local manufacturer. If there are any?

I have a Lodestar. Had it some years now, so don't know about availability.

Lodestar 2.9 was voted best on test by YM some years ago.

I considered the blue, they look real nice, I was concerned about burning my @rse on a hot day though ?

Hold on hold on. My wife currently has my Man Maths Calculator. She's using it to figure out how to go from a £35k car to an £80k car but have it cost less every month and overall. She'll be done in a week or so then I might get it back for the RIB.

We have just bought a Honwave T30 AE and are expecting delivery today.
From searching about, it seems a lot of places are out of stock. [SUPs too!]
So if anyone is currently in a hurry and wants new, it maybe more of what is available rather than what is best!

The manufacturers are struggling to keep up with the volume of orders from Calais.
