Hi All,
We do not have a dink for our C Dory. I am still considering. Has anyony used the cheap light Sevelor Kayaks? I think they make them from vinyl and also a coated fabric. Last year we saw a C Dory with one of the very short dinks sold by West Marine for about 299.00. I was not able to speak with the owners to find out how they liked it.
We have owned several inflatable dinks over the years, but , evan our last 8 footer with the air floor was about 45 lbs. We used this with our Rosborough 245 and it was two man job to load on the top at a dock. I sold it as we felt it was too big for the C Dory. _________________ Pat & Fred Messerly |

I have two 2-person Seyvlor kayaks, I like them very much, but only in the summer with nice warm water! I wouldn't consider them for a dink to shore and back unless in my swim trunks, a little too tippy and prone to get wet, even from your own paddles! But hey, some people are hardier than I...!

We have a Seyvlor Colorado Canoe and we like it but it wasn't cheap. It fits nicely on top of the 25 if you have a low arch, which we did when we bought it. However, since we changed to a high arch we are considering going with a different dinghy. We like the one like David on Anna Leigh has. It looks like it fits perfectly under a high arch and very well porportioned on the 25. It doesn't hang over the top at all that I can remember. David said he hasn't had any problems getting it back on the boat after he's used it, which is something we've been concerned about. |
