Default Where to put a 10' porta-bote?

On my 28' sailboat, there is not a lot of room and the most likely
place would be alongside the lifelines inside the shrouds. However,
that would block a lot of light going into the window and block some
ventilation as well.
Daughter had an interesting idea, "hang it over the side". She
suggested putting tubular webbing straps around it and hanging it over
the side from the toe rail. Not sure what to think of this.


Bad idea. It'll get knocked off in seas, or cause other havoc.
To answer your question, you should look around and see where 280' foot
boats store their 100' dingies.
That's just a quick decimal thing I did, but you understand.
"I think we need a bigger boat."
Or maybe a dingy that makes sense for the boat you have.
