Numerous tragic things have happened to Patch but she is still going strong, epoxy is her friend. ;-) Patch has a lot of rocker which makes her the perfect one person dinghy, she has minimum wetted surface and will really scoot along. However, two folks are her absolute limit.

I was hoping to add an inflatable to the arsenal that would be a more stable platform for getting to and from the boat for non-sailing guest.

If you step much off the center line of Patch, she will promptly put you in the drink.

Anybody familiar with this brand or want to share an opinion?
