Description

Aluminum Tender Boat — 1.55 × 2.6 m (5′ 1″ × 8′ 6″)

This compact yet exceptionally sturdy tender is purpose-built for yacht owners who demand reliability,
strength, and zero maintenance. Unlike traditional inflatable tenders, this model is constructed
entirely from marine-grade aluminum — from the hull to the innovative
hexagonal aluminum side tubes that replace fragile inflatable pontoons.
The result is a boat that will never puncture, deflate, or require costly repairs, while
delivering long-lasting performance in all conditions.

Measuring 1.55 × 2.6 m (5′ 1″ × 8′ 6″), it offers excellent stability
and handling for its size. Weighing only 70 kg (154 lbs), it is easy to handle on deck,
transport to the water, or store when not in use. Designed for a 5 HP engine, it provides
dependable performance for short trips, crew transfers, and harbor operations.

For safety, the hull features 7 independent buoyancy chambers with a total capacity of
800 liters. Even in the unlikely event of hull damage, the boat will remain afloat,
giving you peace of mind during every trip. Rated for 2 persons and classified as
Category D, it is ideal for sheltered waters, lakes, rivers, and coastal areas.

Whether you are an experienced builder or a first-time boat project enthusiast, this tender is
easy to build and comes in two plan options:

  • CNC Plans — precision files for professional machine cutting
  • Jigsaw (DIY Garage Cut) Plans — printable templates for manual cutting at home

Rugged, maintenance-free, and built to last — this all-aluminum tender is the perfect
companion for your sailing adventures.
