We use two keowee tupperware kayaks as landing craft on our 30' sailboat. They do not deflate, but they are small enough to lash to the cabin top without interfering with the boom. They are light enough to make launching and retrieving an easy one person operation. Each one has a shotgun seat for a child up to about age ten or eleven in calm water. As my son has outgrown this, we added a Folbot Aleut to the fleet. I dont have any experience with inflatables. I considered getting an inflatable at the time we got the Aleut, but I decided that the Folbot would be more satisfactory to paddle. --Karl Coplan *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
