Don't poo-poo a Dyer Dhow. (See, I'm not as dumb as you think. :-)) They sail real well and can
get back to a mooring easy unless the wind dies. I've sailed one plenty. Actually, they go upwind
better than my present boat but they don't have any shelter in them. But, most of the time I like
to work on my tan so I like sailing dinghies.
