Sportyak 213 Dinghy

The Sportyak is car-toppable, cabin-toppable, drag-up-the-beachable, nearly indestructible, and almost rowable. This is our earnest “lest we take ourselves too seriously” entry, as our good friend and Off Center Guide Gubby Williams has crossed the Atlantic and sailed thousands of miles with a Sportyak as his tender. This homely little original might just be the boat you need, and if you’re into bigger rear ends and broader shoulders, be sure to check out her big sister listed below.
