“The trim little vessel…has pleasing lines and is as carefully engineered as any high-end, oceangoing yacht.” Adrift No More, a Lifeboat that Sails, Twain Braden, Ocean Navigator
Every detail of the Portland Pudgy safety dinghy is carefully thought out and executed, including the built-in compass, the placement of the tow-eyes and shape of the triangulated bridle, the grab-line placement, the textured gunwales and floor, the drainage gutters and drain-plug, and much more. For detailed information see Prices and contact us for digital Owner’s Manual files.
The Portland Pudgy was also designed with comfort and stability in mind in its function as a dynamic lifeboat (for more information, see Life Raft-Lifeboat).
