6 Tenders on test

  • Tue, 13 Oct 2009

Extra photos from PBO's test of six inflatable tenders from the September 2009 issue

Wetline 230RT ECO: Easy to row, and showed a good turn of speed under power, too.
Wetline 230RT ECO: Slatted floor means you can brace your legs well for rowing
Wetline 230RT ECO:
Waveline WL230RAXS: performed well under engine
Waveline WL230RAXS: Seat position too far aft for taller testers when rowing
Waveline WL230RAXS: Effective valves
Waveline WL230RAXS: Comes with an airdeck floor
Waveco 230RT: the engine bracket was a little too high for our short-shaft Honda outboard: with a longer-legged Mercury it worke
Waveco 230RT: rowed well
Waveco 230RT: Smaller tube diameters than other dinghies on test, but still sufficient freeboard
Seago T230T: performed well under engine, too.
Seago T230T: Like the Avon, the Seago had moulded rubber rowlocks
Seago T230T: The oars were too short for effective rowing, but are being changed for longer models, according to Seago.
Seago T230T: Compact when stowed
Excel RT230: the pump was cylindrical and incorporated a pressure gauge.
Excel RT230 had a good stainless engine bracket and performed well under engine, too.
