We’ve had trouble with our current dinghy. Tropical heat may be to blame. Or it might be a lemon from the factory – a second round of glue failures needed to be corrected. Too bad because we really liked our Takacat.
Just this morning on the radio net, another boat offered up a used Hypalon dinghy. Hypalon material is much more tolerant of tropical heat and UV exposure than the PVC that our other dinghy is made of.
The new dinghy has quite a few years of experience but seems in serviceable condition. It cleaned up nicely, although it took a major part of the day removing aquired neglect from the boat.
We probably paid a bit more than we should have. It would have been much more to get a new one here in MX. But it’s ours now. And a dinghy is vital for enjoyment of our sailing lifestyle.
And now we have beach wheels, too! We’re going to be part of the cool crowd at the beach parties now!
