Duo dinghy rowing with inflatable collars fitted

Rowing the Duo dinghy with inflatable collars fitted (although it is still missing the bow ones). These collars act as fenders when coming alongside, buoyancy in case of flooding and add extra stability as the boat heels. I was surprised how much extra stability they give. I did not try to push it to the maximum, but I will later in the year, right now the water is too cold! EDIT: I now have fitted a single longer fender on each side. In September I will be fitting "dinghy dogs", a purpose made collar I am rowing at 4 knots on my gps, which is hull speed, so about the maximum possible Duo is also a sailing boat, the next video I post will be of it sailing. You can build this boat from two sheets of plywood using plans from Woods Designs. see more at www.sailingcatamarans.com
