Our experience and review with the expensive Portland Pudgy and the torqeedo travel 1103.
The boat we received is marketed as:
"unlike an inflatable life raft, the Portland Pudgy lifeboat is proactive:
You can sail, row, or motor it. (This is why it’s called a “dynamic” lifeboat.)"
"it is ingeniously designed so that all of the survival equipment fits inside the boat and/or can be pre-set, so that it is ready in an emergency. All of the survival gear, including sailing rig, sea anchor, exposure canopy, oars, ditch bag, provisions, and fishing gear can stow inside the storage chamber of the double hull (with the exception of the rudder and leeboards, which stow under the stern seat). You can also pre-set the exposure canopy and sea anchor."
As always, we give an honest opinion from our experience.
We hope this helps someone, somewhere that would think of buying one.
