Well, you could always get yourself a proper dinghy. Of course, I don't
know what you mean by too heavy. The Dyer Dhow weighs about 100 pounds,
and is about as nice a hard-sided dink you can get.

They've been around a long, long time.

I've never been any kind of a blow boater, but that little thing looks
like it could be a lot of fun in the right conditions, of course.

They have been around a long time, and they do look good. *In my
opinion however they are a bit too small for a full sized adult, and
don't really sail all that well.

Of course, with my skills maybe that's just what I'd need.
