Sailboat Dinghy Swap - From Plush to Practical (Sailing Curiosity)

Our Sailboat came with this fancy dinghy but it wasn’t a good fit for “About the World” cruising, so we ditched it for something better.

From an AB all electric center console fiberglass dinghy that weighed about 500lbs to a Highfield aluminum that weighs about 200lbs. Let’s just say our catamaran is breathing a sigh of relief to get that weight off her backside.
It wasn’t an easy decision to get rid of our plush AB dinghy but for around the world cruising something fancy and cush doesn’t really make sense. The last thing we want in a foreign country is to have the nicest dinghy at the dock.
There are a ton of other reasons we swapped from our AB to the new Highfield and we’ve listed those on our website. Overall we’ve been living with our new dinghy for about a month and every time we offload it from the boat and drag it on the beach we’re extremely happy we switched.
Thanks for joining us as we begin our sailing adventures. See ya on the water!
Jason, Nikki, Cleo and Singa

Gone with the Wynns
Hello. We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn, a couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. We believe Curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It’s what pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions and helps us embrace the great unknown. The future is a sea of uncertainty and each of us has a choice: to focus on problems or possibilities. Our goal is to cultivate a sense of curiosity about what is possible. “Every explorer I have met has been driven—not coincidentally but quintessentially—by curiosity, by a single-minded, insatiable, and even jubilant need to know.” ― Jacques-Yves Cousteau You can learn a lot more about us on our website: https://gonewiththewynns.com
