I've put a few thousand miles on mine behind my J/37. It works well. You get
much reduced (almost eliminated) drag from towing the dink and an easy way
to store and secure it. You can leave the engine on the dink in reasonable
conditions. In heavier conditions the engine needs to be off. I've used it
in some decent wind/wave conditions (West coast of Vancouver Island) and had
no problem.

Am curious if anyone has experience with using a Dinghy-Tow. This is the
device that allows you to tow a dinghy with it partially raised out of the
water. Am thinkingabout using it to reduce the drag of towing in the usual
manner.
