Re: Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
Dieter, We studied options regarding a hard shell dinghy vs a rib vs inflatable. The Pudgy can be fitted as a life boat. [currently working towards certification by USCG]. That means I can sell my liferaft and free up some space in my locker. Wife likes the fact that our Honda 2.3 hp weighs 30lbs [ just under 14 kg] can be hoisted by her. And yes sails quite nicely. Downsides, is that it weighs altogether fully loaded 59 kg (130lbs), a bit heavy and stowing looks to be a challenge. I've seen some davits for Sharki's on Yachtworld, but I'm not sold on them quite yet. So if you have davits, I surely like to see how they are attached. Aras SV FIASCO Sharki #163 1988
