Just got a new dinghy!
We've had all sorts over the years - mostly RIBs, but a friend had one of these on the Christmas cruise and I was so impressed I bought one as soon as I got back.
The link tells you all about them except, I think it is considerably lighter than the stated 38kg - more like 28kg. Ours is the 3.0m version.
With a 5hp Yamaha and one person on board, it really flies - 15kn on the iphone Navionics GPS. However, it will not plane with more than one person, but still give an acceptable speed.**
