We are choosing between a RU (Roll-Up) and RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) style dinghy.
We predominantly coastal cruise with our dog and two adults only.
Our SV is a 37.5 Hunter Legend, that has a good davit system and an outboard motor mount.
I would prefer an RU so that my transom can remain open and available, but know that a RIB is more sturdy, roomy and better for any rough conditions.
Any thoughts or advice?
Portabote! Love mine, as light as an inflatable but no puncture worries and pretty easy to repair:
Do you know how well these hold up to being supported underway by davets on a catamaran?
Is it fiberglass construction? Is it light enough that you can move it with two people when on shore?
