3D Superlight Twin Air 160

Yeah, it’s of course a tiny boat.

Moving the seat and the rowlocks just a couple of inches each way would make it rowable, though, even though it’s never going to be the best.

So....if anyone is considering the 160 as a highly portable tender. Paddling it like a kayak is OK, just don’t expect to row it.

Fortunately the 250 doesn’t suffer from that

Very nice - I'm always keeping my eyes open for what I'd replace our Avon Redstart airdeck with if/when it dies, which we use as a pack away tender on the RIB and hang from davits (but like to be able to pack away for long passages) on the sailing yacht, and this seems to tick many of the boxes.

Hopefully a few years away for us though, as our Avon hit 20 years this year, and still looks the same as when we first took it out the box!
