Innovative Accessories
Smart Thinking
Our standard boats are good to go! We make sure to make standard all items we believe are essential on a tender such as: lifting points, storage bags, alloy protection in high abrasion areas, oars, seat blocks, tiller extension, painter and bow guard. It has everything you need for a great tender. However, each cruiser have their needs and wants so we have come up with some useful extras and here is why you may consider them:
1.2mm Alloy Delta Plate
This option will offer full delta panel coverage, making it strong and long lasting on those rocky beaches and rough surfaces you may drag your tender on. The weight added increases according to model size: OC270 – 2.5kg, OC300 – 3kg, OC330 3.5kg and OC350 – 4kg
Dinghy Wheels
Wheels make life much easier on your back and protect your hull from drag. We recommend Quicklock by Truekit, NZ made with an easy launch and retrieve mechanism. We offer installation for our recommended wheels only but you are welcome to chose and install your own.
Telescopic Ladder
Useful for the less agile, young, and water active cruiser. Safety and ease of holding for reboarding while in the water. Tucked away under the deck in a storage bag when not in use.
Custom Tender Cover
We encourage all tenders to be covered if not in use for extended periods of time. Light colored covers are recommended. Our covers are custom made in house using Stamoid Wave material for its durability and lightness. Available in white or light grey. Cover does not include customization for engines or davit lifting points.
Full Carbon
The full carbon version will save weight and maintain strength without changes to the look. Save up to 20% in tender weight. Recommended for the performance oriented cruisers looking into minimizing load on the davits/deck, and overall weight of the main boat. Easy to handle, more efficient and cost effective as it uses less power/fuel to plane.
Navigation Lights
Our recommended navigation light package for full time cruisers and for cruisers residing in countries where it is a legal requirement. Very versatile set made in NZ by Railblaza.
Vinyl Name Cutting
Come on, give the little boat to your big boat a soul… name it! Another idea is to do “Tender to S.V/Y/M. “name of our boat” placed on the inside deck of the tender. We also have other options on where to place your name.
Fishing Rod Holders
Because you don’t want to step on your own hook.
Custom Colour Rub Rail
If black is not your colour, then check the range from Weathermax materials for some great colours to match your main boat!
Board Rack
Rack is secured with custom fitting to the deck. Go surfing, kiting or wake boarding without losing your cargo space to your boards.
Custom Lifting Points
Custom lifting points using in house made carbon pad eyes and installed through the hull, and loop bolts at the transom (look at photo on the next accessory), can be used to adapt your davit needs. Preferably it should be used in combination with our standard lifting points for better load distribution.
Extra Bung
Extra drain plug (bung in Kiwi language) useful for angled davits to make sure the tender gets drained quickly. Carry a sponge/chamois in your storage bag to clean any excess. Be clean and dry at all times!
Anchor Pack
Lightweight, easy to use and neatly contained in a drawstring duffel bag when not in use – our packs contain a 1kg molded nylon plastic anchor with a lead weighted tip, 3.5m of 6mm galvanised link chain, splice and heatshrunk to 15m anchor rode.
Anchor Well Lid
A resin infused; full carbon piece finished with non-skid to sit flush with the deck. Designed to close off your anchor bag and provide a larger deck surface at the bow, strong enough to sit or stand on and perfect for kids or pets to ride “up front” if it’s calm. Complete with hinge opening and magnet closure to ensure a snug and secure fit.
