How is the Portland Pudgy a “self-contained unit”?
All of the Pudgy’s safety equipment and accessories fit within the dinghy, and are stored either in storage compartments within the hull or under the rear seat. The mast telescopes down and the sail furls around it, and they are stored through the rear access hatch (see picture below). The exposure canopy and sea anchor also fold up and fit through an interior hatch. The lee boards and the motor mount that is not in use stow neatly under the rear seat. (In addition, you can store ditch bags, food, water, fishing or duck hunting equipment, etc. in the storage compartments.
