Survival System
The Portland Pudgy's Survival System consists of the following
components:
Exposure Canopy.
(CO2
Inflatable) three-section canopy. Exposure canopy transforms the
Portland Pudgy into a 4-person, hard bottom, unsinkable, pro-active
(when used with sailing rig or oars) life raft. Includes:
□ Two 6-diameter support and
flotation tubes (bow and stern)
□ Inflated by two CO2 cylinders, by
hand pump (supplied), or orally
□ Zip-in center section (with two
inflatable flotation pods)
□ Three windows (one in bow and two
in center section)
□
Valves and CO2 inflation cylinders pproved by US Navy for their single man
life rafts).
□ One inflation system for each
support tube
□ Canopy material USCG recommended
orange outside, blue inside (anti-nausea)
□ Canopy secured to dinghy with 12
stainless steel pad eyes.
Boat cover.
The
boat cover can be used alone, or in conjunction with the exposure canopy.
It holds the pre-canopy in place when not inflated. We offer three
models: the basic boat cover as detailed below, a cover with a drain in
the center for use if you store the Pudgy upside down); a cover with covered
holes for davit lines. The boat cover includes:
□ Lt gray, Odyssey III, 6.5 oz./sq. yd,
coated polyester. Custom colors
and Sunbrella available at extra charge
□ Bungee fastener
around perimeter plus two 1-wide web straps w/snap
buckles
□ Two grommet holes for
draining. Four grommet holes for tie-down access.
Sea Anchor and Rode.
Designed
by Fiorentino, specifically for Portland Pudgy multifunction dinghy (a
must for offshore cruising, together with exposure canopy).
Safety Harness Eyes.
Four stainless steel eyes with backing plates are used
for lifting the dinghy onto davits, and as a strong attachment point for
safety harnesses.
Sailing System. You can use the Sailing System with the exposure
canopy in place, so you can head for shipping lanes or land while
protected from the elements.
