"Rigid tenders are too heavy for my yacht" is a myth that costs owners a better boat. ๐ซ
Here's what's really happening. Old-school fiberglass skiffs were built with heavy hand-laid glass and wood cores. That's where the reputation came from.
Ultra Lite tenders are built completely differently:
โ๏ธ Vacuum resin infusion, which removes excess resin weight while maximizing strength
โ๏ธ Advanced woven composites, including Kevlar and E-glass
โ๏ธ Structural foam coring throughout
โ๏ธ Designed to approximate the dimensions of comparable inflatable tenders
The result is a rigid fiberglass tender engineered for the same davits and swim platforms your inflatable lives on now, without the tubes.
Curious whether a ULT fits your setup? Send us your davit specs and we'll tell you honestly.
