a top choice for use by sailing schools, marinas, and rescue teams
The Tahe Sportyak 245 Rescue is a highly visible, multi-purpose dinghy ideal for use as a tender, harbour utility boat, family rowboat, or stable fishing platform. With its red and yellow colour scheme, the Rescue model offers enhanced visibility for use around moorings, marinas, or safety-conscious environments. The bold Rescue colour scheme enhances safety, making it a top choice for use by sailing schools, marinas, and rescue teams.
Designed with a strong emphasis on stability and safety, the Sportyak 245 is ideal for accessing moored boats, rowing with family, or motoring short distances. A large proportion of leisure boating accidents occur in small tender boats; this dinghy was specifically designed to prevent those risks. Key design priorities included stability, even weight distribution, ease of boarding, and unsinkability.
The catamaran-style twin-sheet polyethene hull provides exceptional stability and glide, allowing loading from one side without tipping. Its flat lateral hull sections enhance performance while reducing drift. When empty, the internal cockpit sits above the float line, enabling effective self-draining via the built-in plug.
The integrated all-terrain wheel system allows for effortless transport over slipways, jetties, or beaches, even when loaded with gear. The system is built into the hull, avoiding any interference with on-water performance.
A central rowing seat includes recessed storage compartments and allows for two rowing positions. The seat can be relocated for adjustable balance, although it locks into place centrally. Multiple carrying handles allow for easy lifting and launching by one or more people. The dinghy's lightweight construction, just 39kg, means it can be lifted onto a roof rack by two adults with ease.
Other standout features include a full-length deck safety line, a flat rear surface for upright storage, and integrated points for security cables or locks.
