Hard to beat your Nutshell or the Shellback for a nice rowing tender

My Whisp is a bit too long for a convenient tender and it tends to overrun the sailboat hitting the transom. I'll probably use it some this summer locally but the RIB is far too practical for cruising to be replaced.

I'm sure you've considered Bolger's Gloucester Gull. A friend uses one as the tender for his Alden Challenger. It looks like a fun, simple build.
