Highfield 380 RIB with alu keel
Motor Yamaha 25 HP FI Very nice, fast and roomy dinghy. A modification to the garage was necessary, I had to enlarge the last part fore. To fit it inside I have to completely deflate it. Not something you will want to do every day. Most of the time I tow it. |

Elgaard,
Sorry for the delay in replying. So busy relaxing - no time. Attached are images of our tender and garage with nylon strips added so the tender slides in. These nylon pads are made from kitchen cutting boards which were cut by another myHanse forumite about 6 seasons ago - thanks Marco. The tender is a 3.1 meter Zodiac Cadet RIB which weighs (I think) 84kg and the outboard is a 9.9hp Yamaha 4 stroke weighs about 45kg. Outboard removed and laid on mat on the tender deck, tiller side down.  The nylon pads about 150mm x 250mm glued to the garage floor. Also added a SS rubbing strip to the edge of the garage door where the tender keel rubs when pulled in or let out. The dark sheet rope runs through a double block and attaches to the lifting eyes inside the bow of the tender and is used to pull the tender inside the garage. We found this easier than pushing it in.  The tender, with tunes about 50% deflated in the garage.  |

Have you looked at the bow of the dinghy from the life raft locker to see if it’s all the way forward?

Sorry for the delay - we are half way from Samoa to Fiji at the moment. We end up with the transom about 100mm from the transom door. We fold up the stern ends of the tubes as the door closes. The only mod I made was to cut off the dinghy painter eye on the dinghy bow which allowed the boat to go in a further 40-50mm. I fitted two new towing eyes aft of the dinghy bow stem. I know one other 575 owner modified the fiberglass by making a bow shaped female section into the area in the fwd end of the garage. I am not sure if the very square shape of the Highfield dinghy may be part of the problem. As Rick suggested you should check the fwd end of the garage to see how far up the dinghy is sitting and which part of the dinghy is contacting the fwd section of the garage.

this is a very interesting discussion for me , because I am planning replacing my williams 280 with an electric dinghy ON THE 588. Can anybody else comment what fits there and how ? ideally ,I would prefer to have 10cm less but a very easy insertion (with the winch). hopefully , even without deflating...

If its tight, then check to see if your towing ring is what’s making contact. I moved mine and had it welded lower (which presumably gets it aft more and out of the way), but this was more for the winch and rollers to work better.
