Baly’s new tender

Posted on September 4, 2017 by jennybaan

Balakerette X (#10 or kiss, whichever you prefer) is Baly’s new dinghy. It replaces the tinny we picked up in Darwin back in 2015. Bear and JD wanted a softer landing and there aren’t any crocodiles in Brisbane. Balakerette ix (the tinny) went to a new home with my neighbour, it was an easy delivery by just sending it over the fence!

      Hi Tony, it is a Surfsea with an airdeck, 40 kilos, imported by a local guy at Thornlands, 10 minutes away. Made in China but with German PVC. Since I consider dinghies a consumable I didn’t want to overcapitize so $800 plus $40 for the cover seems ok. We will see how it lasts. I looked at Sirocco, Takacat, Whitworths and the Walker Bay before deciding on the Surfsea.
