A mirror or optamist make great tenders i saw one last year in Sweden which was almost unsinkable had a wheel could have a 4HP or sail and weighted 25kgs dident cost a lot about 600 euros?
It was from---i will be back to edit i cant remember i have to consult a female brain data storage which might remember corectly--or not! back soon
I always said woman were indispensable! Found in the "Din guide till skargardens oar,gast-och naturhamnar. Arholma- landsend med gotland!"
Allt for Baten "Watski" per marine Gustavsburg tel:0046-57034700
Thats where i saw several in different sizes super value. The son and now running the shop is really helpful and speaks English even better than many other Swedish-has the advantage he will know what you want and tell you where you can find it even if you dont buy from him.
Worth asking. Looked good and stable unsinkable light sail costs extra out board up to 4hp from 25kgs and tough.And with a wheel on the transom for moveing it

I refer the honourable gentlemen back to the answer I gave earlier.
Except I see the phantom censor has been at it again.

I would ideally like to have unsinkability, reasonably light weight yet still reasonably stiff and strong, good rowing performance (I have an inherent distrust of outboard engines, and enjoy rowing), and a longitudinal bench seat for finite adjustment of rowing positions, all while taking up minimal space when stowed on deck. A tall order methinks.....
I think there is enormous potential in using some lateral thinking for the development of new and different two part (or even 3 part, or more) nesting dinghies to try and meet requirements like the above.
I am also a fan of the various folding dinghies on the market, and would ideally like to have one of these as well, also an inflatable (which could be kept rolled up for emergencies).
I dont think it is unreasonable to have 3 tenders on a 35' yacht, especially if you have visitors, and are anchored out (as is the situation 99% of the time in the Windies), and everybody wants to go off in different directions simultaneously.
I have mentioned on another dinghy thread here some tenders designed by Danny Greene, and I have designed a couple of 2 part dinks for friends who have very limited room for stowing hard dinghies on their yachts (both less than 32' LOA).
They have not yet built these dinks yet though, so I am not too sure if they will work....!
My way of approaching this was to have the bow sitting inside the stern in the usual fashion, and then designing them with fairly low prismatics (fine ends, tubby midships) such that the two halves can then fit almost like a glove over the forward end of the coachroof.
Has anybody ever come across a dinghy like this before?
This would not work though if there was a baby stay in the way, or if the side-decks are rather narrow, or (eg) if the dinghy covered the forehatch, and there was an issue re not having any other means of escape from the cabin (other than the companionway).
And I am building myself a 2 part 11' dodger dink which will stow in 6' of length upside down over the companionway to form a dodger (at least that is the plan - hope it works!), as we do not have a conventional canvas dodger.
Probably would have been much easier though to have just ordered a new custom-made dodger......
And there is always a potential problem re unsinkability of the stern section of a two part pram dinghy as the bow takes up most of the space in the stern when nested (at least it does on my 7'6" first effort). Although this could be partially alleviated with a pair of 6' inflatable sausage tubes attached to the gunwhales.
Some one had mentioned a catamaran tender earlier on......
I am also thinking that one could have a 3 part (or 5 part rather) demountable catamaran rowing boat (where the 2 bows and 2 stern sections could be dismounted and stowed in (or on) the dink's 'bridgedeck' - the concept is a bit like a much lower tech version of the Ro Cat. This is a very neat sculling boat, with a very unorthodox sliding rigger arrangement (instead of a sliding seat). Have a look at www.rocat.co.uk.
Please note that all of the above mentioned dinghies are just my hobby, and I do not have any commercial interest in manufacturing or selling them (especially so re the Ro Cat).
