Yeah, no kidding. To me a dinghy was always a grubby old Sabot you bought at a
garage sale, or the police auction! I get a kick out of the 10 foot RIBs with a
center console. There's 10-20 grand worth of tender all over the place these
days.

I guess that's what yachting's all about though. It's one place in life where
people can have exactly what they want, so they don't mind paying for it.
