Default DINGHY Review


Looks allot like a trinka. I'd never deal with the hassles blow up's
provide.



Hard Dinghy: Rows better, looks better, far FAR less stable, carries
MUCH less payload, can't be stowed below, lasts much much longer and
generally costs less.

Inflatable: Carries much more payload, I can stand on the tube and it
won't flip! Can be punctures and badly effected by sun exposure over
the years, can be stowed away completely, can travel FAST, usually
costs more and has limited lifespan. Much more likely to be stolen.

Both have pluses and minuses. I had a Walker Bay 10 for a while...nice,
but very limited as 3 adults was it's limit and no payload beyond that.
You can cram 5 adults into our current dinghy and of course it's safer
for a child. The floor is even padded!
