Mike Fox Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 You looking for a rigid tender or inflatable? I have a couple of old inflatables in the garage I was going to pop into a boat jumble for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codpiece Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Thanks Mike, If I put an inflatable on the bank at Quomps (Xch) it would last about 5 mins but ta all the same. Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fox Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi Simon, One is my old Plastimo 2.4m, which have used from new over 10 years ago. One of the "carry points" has peeled away, and it just looks generally "tired". complete with pump, oars and nylon bag (zip probably corroded). Wooden transom allows a small outboard to be used and when last used stayed inflated for 3 weeks. Bought a similar model again this year, as it can carry 3 adults comfortably. The other is a 2.35m inflatable, I inherited with the current boat. It looks a simlar age and material. I've put oars with it, it also has a pump, wooden transom, and a faded canvas bag. I recall that one of the valve covers is missing, but it's also air-tight over a 24 hour period. The tubes are a slighlty smaller diameter, and Carol hates getting wet in dinghies, so it has never been used by us, as the old Plastimo was so buoyant and was retained when we sold the previous boat. Neither are brilliant, and have been kept in case I ever need a swinging mooring, but this is looking less likely as the amount of kit taken aboard each trip increases!

Brian Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Derek I've got a 9ft tender, that I used to use when I was on the trots at Rockley. It certainly fits your criteria of "Nothing new or too posh". It could do with a clean up. I think it's worth Edited June 18, 2008 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
