Description

Our 8 1/2′ Dinghy works great as a boat tender, it will take one, two or in some cases (weight depending) three adults. This delightful boat is both stable and sturdy, at the same time, not heavy, just 32 kgs, this dinghy comes with 3 seats as standard, and the middle and bow seats are airtight making it unsinkable.

Extras

We can supply good quality aluminium or wooden oars and can add a decorative name on the stern or side of the dinghy. The stainless steel rubbing strake is a strip of metal running down the main keel, this is sometimes required if the dinghy is to be going aground on hard surfaces, concrete slipways, etc. Dolly wheels are useful if the dinghy is to be moved any great distance on hard ground, it can be carried by two people very easily but wheels may be useful in some circumstances, (this style of wheels are not ideal in soft sand or mud.

Construction

Made from robust GRP fibreglass, the centre and bow seat are airtight making the dinghy unsinkable the stern seat is a bench giving a little more space, included are galvanized steel row locks and stainless steel eyelet. There isn’t anything that can rot or perish on this dinghy.
