New friends who happen to be OC Tenders

A behind the scenes interview with new friends Russel and Karin Carlyon.
Shortly after arriving in New Zealand we met Russel and Karin. Russel welcomed us into his workshop to do some repairs of our own, as well as into their family home with a warm cruiser style welcoming. We wanted to thank them so we made this video. It takes you behind the scenes at OC Tenders and give you a glance into the construction of the Custom built and designed composite tender. During their 7 years circumnavigation Russell & Karin Carlyon realized that none of the tenders available in the market provided all of the key aspects they felt were important for a good tender, so when they returned they filled this need in the market and started making their own design. We are impressed by this family run company and hope this video will help answer some questions you may have about the OC Tender.
Thanks again for sharing your bench space Russ.

Moonwalker is an awesome cat and story followed there blog years ago as they sailed the world. Hope you enjoy your time here before heading off to the islands. Cheers

Something tells me that you can buy very decent real boat for the price of that dinghy. This toy is for boys with veeeeeeery deep pockets.

[@SailSurfROAM]

Сергей Канаццкий check out the OC tender website for more info. for Cruisers who use their tender everyday, I think with this product you get what you lay for.
