while anchored in Culatra in Algarve I meet Dave and Rose, a very nice couple living aboard Blue , a beautiful Amel Sharki in the Ria Formosa, Algarve. They had a nice looking dinghy. It looked similar to any inflatable tender like my zodiac but I soon realized it was much lighter and much more stable than a regular inflatable Yacht Tender.

After seeing my curiosity they explained me the quality construction the 5 YEAR WARRANTY and the catamaran hull design, with significantly less drag than a typical deep-v hull. like my old zodiac. This alows them to use a smaller electric outboar motor and gives it also a catamaram stability alowing anyone to stand in it without any issues. even I could do it..

Dave And Rose are in their 80’s and they used their tender effortlessly, on the dayly trips to the Island. They even come to pick me sometimes for a snack. This was my first experience with Tue kit inflatable Catamarans. They had an electric Outboard motor that easily took us betwent the anchorage, the beach and the dinghy dock. After a couple of days I ask them to let mr try it on my own, to see if I could use it and store it safely on Belle coachroof alone. I did it and it was surprisingly easy. With its landing craft bow I could stand and easily step into the beach or Belle swim platform, Just a line from hit’s bridle bow Handle to Belle and I could guide it to starboard and hoist it single handly to Belle Deck. The electric outboard was also bery easy to lidft and store in the cockpit to charge during the night. My old Zodiac it’s great but a bit wobbly to embark and disembark though it's big tubes and very heavy and didficult to hoist. I have to use a spare halyard, winch it out of the water and “dance” with it to be able to store it properly on deck. I have to confess that most of the times I just stay aboard to avoid avoid all the hustle of using it to go ashore. Budget dont allow me to buyone True Kit discovery for now but it's "definitely" on my wishlist.
