'Excellent product. Good value. Compact storage.'
Strengths:
Inexpensive and convenient way to launch your dinghy on almost any surface and, when deflated, you can carry a couple in the boat and safely beach it anywhere.
Weaknesses:
The rollers do not come with a selection of inflator adaptors. Force 4 did not reply to my request of "how do you inflate it". So I had to buy an inflator locally and could not find one with a suitable connector, although the one I bought from Millets, does work with difficulty.

A larger range of roller sizes would be nice. they do a larger one but I would have liked one with a shorter length, as it could double as extra buoyancy in my small dinghy.

Seems no way to attach a line so you could lose one.



Overall:
An economic "must have" for anyone dinghy cruising especially at sea and single handed. No more lauching trolley to be carted about and looked after. These go with you and will fold up flat or roll up and can be stored almost anywhere in the smallest dinghy. A small craft will only need two and a larger one three and you will probably find other uses when you are moving house!
