its not cheap Sands but as a dinghy that does more even as a lifeboat on a compact yacht it would be well worth it I think











I cant afford one but there not to bad clever design

Wonder what the weight is .... may be a tad heavy for davits on a small yacht , but i guess a lot of yachts have inflatables with out boards on davits ..

so weight may be similar to that ?

rows well , life raft , and sails , got lights and built in battery . .................... great design !!!!!!

I tried to find the weight as well no success yet

Found it SandS
The Pudgy fits inside many station wagons and vans or on the roof of your car. It’s easy to transport on a light trailer or in a pickup truck.At approximately 128 lb, the Portland Pudgy is easy to carry. It has a wheel in the keel for rolling the dinghy on docks or pavement. The grab-lines along the gunwales and the bow mounted bridle make for easy lifting.

bit on the heavy side

Same weight as a Walker Bay 10, which I just on-sold because it was too heavy for me to drag up the beach. Can't imagine trying to launch it as a lifeboat.
