Dinghy Kit

$250.00

Compact marine first aid kit for dinghies and small craft. Built around catastrophic bleeding control, wound management, and exposure — the things that don't wait for shore.

The MMG Dinghy Kit is built for short-range crews — dinghies, day-sailers, small motorboats, and tenders. You're a quick ride from shore, but you still need to handle the things that don't wait: arterial bleeding, contaminated wounds, and the early hours of hypothermia.

We packed it around three principles. First, life threats first: a CoTCCC-recommended CAT tourniquet and QuikClot hemostatic gauze for catastrophic bleeding, plus a CPR face shield. Second, wound management for what actually happens on small boats — fishhooks, barnacle lacerations, friction -blistered hands — with irrigation, antiseptic, and antibiotic ointment. Third, exposure: a mylar emergency blanket, lip balm with SPF, and electrolyte mix for sun and salt loss.

What you won't find here is a medication panel or diagnostic equipment. That's deliberate. On a day-trip vessel, you carry your own pillbox. For multi-day or offshore work, the Coastal Cruiser or Offshore Kit is your mainframe — and the Dinghy Kit is the companion that goes with you. Stash it in the helm or lazarette, grab it when you're on and off the boat, take it in a tender or kayak. It handles life threats wherever the bigger kit can't follow. Every kit ships with a printed Patient Assessment Quick Guide and QR-coded dividers that link to product-specific usage videos.

  • Best for:

    • Dinghies, tenders, day-sailers, small motorboats, kayak support boats

    • Owners who want a credible bleeding-control + wound-care kit at a low price point

    Not the right kit if:

    • Multi-day or overnight cruising — step up to the Coastal Cruiser

    • Voyages 24+ hours from definitive care — step up to Offshore

    • Anyone needing a packed medication panel or diagnosticsDescription text goes here

  • Item deQ: Why no tourniquet alternative?

    A: Improvised tourniquets fail at clinically meaningful rates. The CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) is the only tourniquet recommended by CoTCCC for civilian and tactical use, and it's the only tourniquet we ship in any kit. We cover the science in our Equipment Categorization video.

    Q: Why a $2 mylar blanket and not a bivy?

    A: On a small boat under 4 hours from shore, the mylar blanket buys you the wind/wet barrier you need to slow heat loss until you're back to a heated cabin or to EMS. A bivy makes sense on multi-day voyages where you may need to stabilize someone for 12+ hours — that's why the Coastal Cruiser and Offshore include a bivy approach.

    Q: Are the contents FDA-compliant?

    A: Every device in the kit is sourced from FDA-cleared manufacturers and packed in a facility that follows FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality-system principles. Lot and expiration data are tracked at the kit level.

    Q: How does Tether certification work?

    A: Add Tether Medical at checkout for an annual freshness audit (we'll ship you replacements before items expire) and to unlock optional prescription augmentation for crews planning longer trips.

    Q: Can I use this kit ashore?

    A: Yes — the contents work anywhere. The case is sized for marine storage, but the materials are general first aid.
