Towing Dinghy?
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 |

Never happen. Too many negatives and zero positives. It's like towing an
anchor. Why? M. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... Alien has a nearly 10 foot inflatable Quicksilver with an airdeck. There is a 5HP engine and 6 gallon fuel tank.

even towing my Porta-Bote without the engine seriously slows down my boat.

Short distance, calm water, not a problem. Give it plenty of line.
Anything else, forget it. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... Alien has a nearly 10 foot inflatable Quicksilver with an airdeck.

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 Ole Thom |

You need a Dog in your life and sailing..
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. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "No shirt, no skirt, full service" |

then bob**** stupidly asked: So what do you do when you anchor someplace
where there's only a rocky/sandy beach? Does he not understand the difference between tying up to a pier and anchoring? Duh! Poor Scotty Potti!!! Still doesn't understand the question. He said he NEVER used his dinghy. So Loco NEVER anchors and goes ashore via dinghy?????? Still don't get the point of the post? Now I know why Scotty Potti wanders through life so lost; he doesn't even know when someone is talling him how stupid he is!!! RB |

That's why I'm hesitant to try it with our mut. She's a skittery dog to
begin with. I'd hate to drive 2 hours, get on the boat and find she can't handle it. Then what? Go home? Scotty "SAIL LOCO" wrote in message ... You need a Dog in your life and sailing..
