[C38] inflatable tenders

[Joseph Launie]

Kenneth,
    What I have been told is the hyperlon has much more UV resistance 
which is important if the dinghy is going to spend a lot of time in the 
sun. The old Avon hyperlon dinghys were very rugged. The downside is 
that hyperlon is heavier than PVC. It comes down to trade-offs as it 
usually does. Joe Launie, Commodore, Macavity
