UV degradation of Walker Bay dinghies?
I'm really attracted to the Walker Bay 8 as a dink that appears
sufficiently small to fit inverted on the foredeck of my little Hunter
310, and light enough to possibly be able to man-handle on-and-off
without using a jury-rigged harness.
However, I note that it's made of injection-molded polypropylene.
Can anyone comment on the ease-of-launch/stowage issue, or -
especially - on how effective their "UV stabilization" really is?
Also - is Niccolls Lite still in business? Their NN10 looks really
nifty.
Thanks.
