Well I think it’s a brilliant concept and extremely stable BUT on first use at the weekend it tipped me in the water!!!! I think I covered the instructions certainly on inflation but may not if there were boarding instructions at the age of 80 and a Yachtmster I have boarded quite a few dinghies!!! I had it inflated correctly alongside my yacht and proceeded to board down my ladder- I stepped between the seat and the bow - next thing I know there was an inrush of water from the bow…. I am barefoot and now standing on a slippery floor… I fell onto the floor and was tipped out of the bow into the water… lifejacket inflated and rescue commenced… much learned from the incident not just about the dinghy but how fender baskets on the stern stop you getting aboard. Conclusion second attempt boarded between seat and all very stable and good - used it in a choppy estate bow rises well to the waves and very dry. I think maybe 50% of the area between the seat and bow should have a NO STEP signage if single person is boarding. Now need aarming kit for my lifejacket that for Crewsaver seems a rip off!!! Probably buy morelifejackets of another brand as like to service them annually myself but not at near£60 for an arming kit!!!
