Short distance, calm water, not a problem. Give it plenty of line.
Anything else, forget it.


So you tow your cal-20 behind what?

Alien has a nearly 10 foot inflatable Quicksilver with an airdeck.

There
is a
5HP engine and 6 gallon fuel tank.
I see a lot of boats towing their dinks with motors on the back, but

I've
been
told this is poor practice. What's the deal? How many of you tow with

motor on
the dinghy?

Thanks,

RB

I have a 10'6" Avon that I've never used. I'd rather tie up to a pier and eat
at restarunts.

So what do you do when you anchor someplace where there's only a rocky/sandy
beach?

Hey dufus, read his post again, s l o w l y this time.

HINT: 'tie up to a pier' is NOT anchoring.

Loco,

You need a Dog in your life and sailing. When you drop the Hook. First
things first.
Dog ashore to check out all those great smells and a squat. Then we can
get supper. One more turn on the shore before we turn in.

That is why I carry a inflated Dink on the stern pulpit.

You're right Kate, easier to row than fool with an OB

then bob**** stupidly asked: So what do you do when you anchor someplace

Does he not understand the difference between tying up to a pier and
anchoring?

is he that stupid?

Does he even own a boat?

Can he read?

Is he an asshole?
