2Tinga Tunnel Hull Dinghy – Amazing New Yacht Tender

2Tinga Tunnel Hull Dinghy

Originally developed for high-speed search and rescue use where the virtues of an inflatable boat are well-proven, but where speed and seaworthiness are equally important, the 2Tinga tunnel hull dinghies are now available in yacht tender designs and colours.

The tunnel hull design has another major benefit to yacht owners; it is easily towed, even at high speeds. Using your swim platform for a dinghy storage rack is not ideal and towing a dinghy at speed can be tricky and a waste of fuel too.

Check out the video of a 13 foot long 2Tinga dinghy, simply tied through the transom eyes of this 37 foot Sea Ray Sundancer as it is towed at 30mph.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
