I was simply referring to the thru-hulls and the hoses and pipes connected to them. CN "katysails" wrote in message ... I'm sure the whole world is just waiting with baited breath to hear about your solitary exploits... "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ...

OzOne wrote in message ... Real cruising sailors use dinghy and tender interchangeably. It's only the racers who think dinghy is something one races. You failed to see my reference to a "rowing" dinghy. They are used to transport people and goods from point to point quickly and safely. Usually being over 12' long and often as much as 16', they are easily rowed, stable, and track well. They keep a man fit and strong as outboards are rarely used by real men on these craft. Mine is a 15' clinker which is about 40 years old and still in excellent condition. It takes 3 strong men to carry, yet rows like it weight very little. My yacht tenders are a different story being inflatables with outboards..they are not designed to row well neither are those dangerously unstable 6'prams. You have revealed your true stripes, Mr. Racer, with your comments below. Actually Mr Mooring Minder, I have revealed that I choose craft for a purpose, not a budget. My rowing scull was purchased for about $8000 and is designed for nothing other than rowing at speed. My clinker rowing skiff is designed to travel up and down rivers and across lakes under human power alone carrying 3 or 4 passengers. My yacht tender is designed to get from a shore the short distance out to my yacht. It rows very badly and is good only for short distances without its outboard. Good selection of boats there, Oz. I have a 12' and a 10' clinker stem dinghy and an 8' clinker pram dinghy as well as a racing shell. Do you compete as elite, masters or just scull for pleasure? |
