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

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

Scotty Potti, I think you missed the point...again!

RB

Nope. Mine cost $75 (plus refit).

Anything bigger.


Well that covers 99.9% of all boats worth over 50 bucks

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,

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?

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

We took our dog on an overnighter once. He hated it. I think because he
couldn't get a grip on the fiberglass. When we got home he laid in one spot on
the floor of the family room and didn't move for 3 days. No lie. Didn't even
get up to eat.

You should train your dog to go on the bow - a lot easier than rowing ashore,
especially in foul weather. Fortunately, our dog needed little encouragement,
plus we have a trampoline and a washdown hose. I just have to make sure the
forward hatches are closed before we let her out in the morning!

And for going ashore, a float works better than a dink, assuming the water is
warm!

Not me. To much wear on the transom, apt to get swamped ect.

I thought people bought blow-ups so they can store them below until
needed.
You need to get a motor mount for your aft rail if there is any room
left around that big grill, huge ladder and that large white sewage
pipe.
