Outboard tender

The Portland Pudgy yacht tender is uniquely designed to get you safely where you want to go, whether you’re blue water cruising, sailing offshore, or exploring a lake. The Pudgy was designed as a tender for blue water sailors, who could also use it as a dynamic lifeboat they could sail to safety. The resulting versatility, ruggedness, buoyancy, stability, roominess, and high quality workmanship puts the Portland Pudgy yacht tender in a class by itself. Yacht Tender / Rowboat / Motorboat: The Portland Pudgy safety dinghy is the ideal yacht tender to row, motor, and tow. It tracks perfectly and moves along nicely with a small motor. The Pudgy is extremely buoyant and has huge carrying capacity, both in the roomy cockpit and inside the storage compartments in the double hull. The oars pull apart and stow through the transom hatch. There’s 12 cubic feet of interior storage within the walls of the hull. The Portland Pudgy (7′ 8″, 128 lb., USCG-approved for 4 people) is designed and manufactured to be an exceptionally rugged, stable, unsinkable boat. See Dinghy FAQ. Safety Boat / Recreational Boat: This small boat is so stable you can walk around in it. The Portland Pudgy safety dinghy has all the benefits of inflatable boats and RIBs (rigid inflatable boats), without the risk of deflation. There is no need for an unsightly, expensive, and deflation-prone RID kit with the Pudgy: it’s unsinkable, with built-in buoyancy.
