Rowing Comparison | Inflatable RIB VS Rigid Dinghy | DELETED SCENES

ORIGINAL VERSION HERE:    • Can You Row an Inflatable Dinghy?  

**********************

This video is a collection of the deleted scenes from a video we made with Tula's Endless Summer called "Can You Row An Inflatable Dinghy". We had a ton of fun with Billy and Sierra making that video.

There were some good laughs that we shared that didn't get used in the original version. Saving Jetty while sailing the dinghy was pretty cool. So glad we had the camera rolling for that! Also, having to cut the cable lock in order to free the RIB from the dock was comical. Geez. :)

We actually did acquire a greater understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each kind of dinghy by running the rowing comparison back-to-back.

Honestly, one of the biggest takeaways for me was how well the RIB did row. It was much slower than the rigid, and required twice the effort to keep her moving decently, BUT it tracked straight and carried enough speed to get you back home if the motor decided to stop working.

The primary strength of an inflatable RIB is it's stability. In addition to that, they plane very easily when coupled with an outboard motor of decent output. Unfortunately, they aren't the best at rowing. Luckily, they are rarely used for that purpose, although, when they are rowed it's usually a matter of necessity rather than choice.

The rigid dinghy is GREAT at rowing, GREAT at sailing, and motors along slowly with a very small and light outboard motor. The biggest drawback to the rigid dinghy is it's lack of stability - and it's also quite slow.

To each their own, eh?

Thanks for watching!!
