Sail Rock 28 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Tt appears Northland Sea Safety are no longer renting rafts. Too bad, good products and good to deal with. So - is anyone else doing it? If not where to next? (It's money I hate spending coz i hate the stupid things but no other options at present). In answer to BP's original question, you can hire a liferaft from Transport and Marine which is located in Glendene, contact Jason 021 645 185, email: jason@transportandmarine.co.nz I hired one from him last year. Fortunately I didn't need to use it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zozza 293 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Portland Pudgy anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cj! 19 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Apparently, the Pudgy rows well enough but its weight doesn't do it any favours when it comes to sailing in light airs. That said I can't see why it or similar craft shouldn't be made an allowable option to liferafts for the single or short handed cruising yacht. Especially given the less than 100% success rate of liferaft launches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
