Zodiac Cadet RIB ALU 240 Light – 7-Foot 10-Inch Aluminum Hull PVC RIB

Zodiac Cadet RIB ALU 240 Light 7′ 10″ – Ultra-Light Aluminum Hull Tender

Solving the weight restrictions of small sailing yacht davits, the Zodiac Cadet RIB ALU 240 Light provides 7′ 10″ of rigid-hull performance in an incredibly light 64 lb package. This model is engineered for the American solo sailor or couple who requires the durability of an aluminum bottom for rocky beach landings but needs a boat light enough to be managed by a single person. For the USA boater, the 240 Light offers a puncture-resistant hull that tracks better than traditional inflatables while remaining one of the lightest rigid-bottom tenders available in the American maritime market.

Built with high-grade 1100 Decitex PVC fabric, the 240 Light features heat-welded seams for maximum air retention and UV resistance in the harsh sun of Florida or the Gulf Coast. The single-layer aluminum hull is powder-coated for corrosion resistance in high-salinity USA coastal waters. With a 6 HP maximum engine rating, this model provides American yacht owners with a nimble, agile, and maintenance-free auxiliary craft that excels in short-distance harbor transits and shore-to-ship commuting across the United States.
