Dinghies
The Avon Dinghy range offers a timeless introduction to inflatable boating, and still regarded without peer by
experienced sailors. Superbly designed and now improved, the Dinghy features large diameter buoyancy
tubes for greater carrying capacity, sea handling and stability. Perfect for access to offshore moorings or
exploring lakes or hidden coves, the Dinghy can be effortlessly rowed or powered by small outboards.
The careful design and features of the Dinghy are enhanced by the standard outboard bracket and the
inflatable thwart providing both seating and increased rigidity and buoyancy. You will find the Avon Dinghy,
tougher, safer and more seaworthy than any competitor.

As a leading manufacturer, Avon carries out a continuous programme of product improvements and safety awareness. Specifications are subject to change without notice, although all details
shown are accurate at the time of going to press. Occasionally it may become necessary to produce Avon products with a different trim than was originally specified. All dimension measurments
indicated have a tolerance of +/- 3 %. Weight and speed measurments have a tolerance of +/- 5 %. Products availability may vary by country, and carrying capacities on some models will vary
with seating configurations. Please check with your dealer. Some models illustrated may feature non-standard equipment. See standard and optional equipment listings for full details. Maximum
and approximate performance figures will vary with size and make of outboard, propeller, load and operating conditions. We recommend that you read and understand your owner’s manual.
Safe boating is enjoyable with the rights of other water users respected. Always wear the appropriate clothing and a personal flotation device or approved life jacket. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for both boat and engine. It is recommended that you consider training to improve your boat handling skills. Even skilled operators should take extra care when using
maximum hp/kW rated outboards, especially in adverse sea conditions or at high speeds. Your dealer will advise on the suitability of a particular outboard to meet your requirements. Avon
design categories relate to European directive No. 94/25/CE and all characteristics are given according to the standards of ISO 6185. In certain countries these standards can be more restrictive.
