The Portland Pudgy lifeboat is self-contained: all components stow inside the hull storage chamber. (The rudder and leeboards stow under the rear seat.) For pricing information, see the Price List.
The basic lifeboat system includes the basic boat plus the exposure canopy, the sea anchor, and the boat cover. These are required for an effective system. We also recommend the pump, boarding ladder/fender, and safety harness eyes. You must supply your own ditch bag. Add the sail kit to the lifeboat boat system, and the Pudgy becomes a dynamic lifeboat that can be sailed to safety.
The fully rigged lifeboat system includes the exposure canopy, sea anchor, boat cover, pump, boarding ladder, safety harness eyes, sail kit, electrical system, solar panel, davit harness for arm davits, or Weaver swim platform davits, and bow bumper. See Price List for details.
NOTE: Portland Pudgy, Inc. believes that it is best for you to create your own ditch bag according to your own priorities, needs, and resources. You can keep one or more ditch bags containing food, medicine, first aid supplies, documentation, money, sunblock, extra eyeglasses, tools, Mylar blankets, etc., along with fishing equipment and a water maker in the interior storage chamber of the Pudgy. Here is a useful site with information on creating your own ditch bag.
