Whally dinghy

[Fergal]

Our last GRP tender that we use to get from the marina to the boat got wrecked in strong winds last autumn.

We have no choice but to leave the tender in a fairly exposed location.

I am considering a solid polyethylene type dinghy (Whaly or similar) as a replacement.

They are not pretty but have the benefit of being more robust.

Does anyone have any experience of them in terms of stability, what they are like to use etc

Cheers

Get a Portland Pudgy and you get your dinghy (row, motor, sail) and a US CG certified life raft at the same time. (One that won't deflate and which does not need periodic servicing to the same extent.)
