TenderConnect in strong winds
The question that comes up most often before buying is not the one about fitting — it is the one about what happens in a lot of wind and sea. Here you can see it: dinghy at the stern, strong following wind, heeling. The dinghy stays where it is.
TenderConnect in a strong following wind
A following wind, the yacht running before the sea — the conditions in which a dinghy on davits starts to swing and one on the foredeck tugs at its lashings. On the TenderConnect none of that happens: the arms rest in the receivers, the dinghy is rigidly joined to the transom and follows the yacht's movements instead of working against them.
Strong wind, sea and considerable heel
The broach at around 40 knots of wind is particularly telling: the yacht lies over on her side in an instant, the dinghy stays exactly where it is at the stern. That is the moment this mounting is made for — not the quiet anchorage, where every solution works.
More footage in wind and waves
Under TenderConnect in action you will find further footage under way — under gennaker, from the air and as picture-in-picture of bow and stern at the same time. On wind resistance, seaway and the view astern we answer the most frequent questions under Questions and answers.
