Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Selecting a tender for a cruising yacht requires balancing stowage, seaworthiness, and utility. For the 1910 Albert Strange-designed yacht Tally Ho, the original 14-foot motor launch design is unsuitable due to its weight, length, and cumbersome handling on deck.1:36 A cruising tender must be easily stowed, capable of navigating surf, and robust enough for beach landings.4:25 While inflatable boats offer practicality and compact storage, they often lack sailing performance and rowing efficiency.5:51

The PT11, an 11-foot nesting dinghy designed by Russell Brown in Port Townsend, serves as a solution for Tally Ho.11:58 The boat separates into two sections, allowing it to stow between the main companionway and skylight hatches, keeping the side decks clear.14:33 The PT11 features a lightweight sailing rig that sets up in minutes and a hull designed for efficient rowing, evidenced by a 70-mile nonstop row completed in 20 hours.26:30 A second, inflatable tender will likely be added to handle larger loads of crew or gear.33:27
